1st quarter is almost over!  Please make sure students continue turning in missing assignments, complete all their classwork/homework, and study!  We have been taking timed multiplication tests and made multiplication flashcards last week to get their times tables memorized. Please make sure they are reviewing these everyday.  As always, please check and sign their planners everyday.  

Congratulations to the Giants team this week!!  They started out slow but came out on top!  Keep reaching our goal of 300 points.  Awesome job!!
