Please click on the following link to read this week’s parent letter. This week Holden will be hosting a Scholastic Book Fair for those who would like to purchase end of the year books. There will be a Summer Book Club at Flynn for those interested. A note went home on Friday.
Many of my current and former students have been asking for recent photos of Mr. Buster. These were taken today. Mr. Buster has been very busy enjoying his time at the park! In one of the pictures, if you look closely, you will see his “black magic marker” tongue!
Enjoy your time away. Wishing you all a safe and relaxing break!
Congratulations to Julian for being named second grade level winner in the American Education Poster Contest and to all my students and families who gave their personal best! All of our posters are on display in the main hall of Holden. Please take a look on your way to our conferences next week.
There is a web-based free math program called XtraMath to increase speed and accuracy in addition and subtraction. Your child is invited to spend a few minutes each day practicing math facts on the computer. If interested, please go to www.xtramath.org and watch the short “Overview” and “Getting Started” videos. Click Enroll. You will be asked for a student enrollment code which I will send home in a letter tomorrow. After this quick process, your child will be able to do XtraMath from home. Helping your children to really master their math facts whether with this site, with flashcards, or with some other means will help them soar in math. Thank you for your continued support!
