Dear Parents,
Many students will be finishing the Beat the Clock challenge this week. Your child may
want to choose a set to study each night in order to be ready for the next day. The goal is
to say and write every set of multiples by Monday, June 4.
Students have been enjoying the books they are reading and accomplishing great
reading. Keep pacing to reach the fourth quarter AR goal.
Have a good week.
In Christ,
Mrs. L. Vander Baan
