Hi! Today we took a quiz in Math to see how we are doing with adding with doubles (quizzes will be sent home Friday). There are a handful of students who are struggling with this. So, if you feel like your child is behind, don't feel bad. I will pull that handful tomorrow for small group instruction to re-teach doubles again. However, I did speak to the entire class about how it's their responsibility to raise their hand if they don't understand something. We worked on using words like "Ms. Juarez, I don't get it, can you explain it some more?" It's so important that children learn to ask for help if they aren't understanding. 

Also, it was brought to my attention that some parents don't want to dress their child has a monster for the Halloween Assembly. Please know that participation in Halloween assembly is voluntary. If you don't want your child to be on stage please just let me know. Lastly, you don't have to buy a new costume of a monster. I encourage you to make one! Think of it as a family project! Think of patterns that don't go together, furry vest, boots with fur, funky hats, I am sure the thrift store and/or closets are filled with hidden treasures!
