Equivalent Fractions

Parents,
We are learning about Equilvalent Fractions in math. Here is a great tool to help your child review Equivalent Fractions at home!

Also, each math teacher created a math assessment in Odyssey. Your child can log into Odyssey at home and school. It reviews all of the TAKS objectives and reteaches concepts that they are struggling with. You can find the link for Odyssey on the SBISD Library Resources page- about half-way down the page.

Nutcracker

Parents,
Just a quick reminder for our upcoming Nutcracker performances on
Monday morning.

If you son is a Soldier or a Mouse please send them to school in BLACK
pants.
If your son is a Baker please send them in KHAKI pants.

Please also send a change of pants/shorts for after. We will keep
their pants at school for the evening performance on Tuesday.

Please send your daughters with their hair in a bun, with makeup
applied (optional). Our helping moms will help tidy hair but will not
have time to apply makeup on every girl.

The children and staff have worked very hard on this production, it's
going to be fabulous.

Have a great weekend.
Karen and Molly
