Parents and students, please send me your updated email address as I will be using email to keep everyone updated on the latest AIG news.

Students,

Are you ever bored?

Go the the links below for some great fun! There are games and activities for everyone!

I teach K-3 Enrichment Classes

AND

 4th and 5th grade AIG Classes

I hope you are enjoying your summer:)

We will begin the school year by studying inventors. 4th and 5th grade reading AIG students will complete an independent project using a self-selected biography and at least 2 other resources. Students will create their own invention, a timeline and present their inventor in a Wax Museum.

We will also begin the 2010/2011 School Year with a Mystery Study...

Remember: READ READ READ 

          Our concept for this school year will be  --------???

4th and Fifth Grade AIG students will also working on Writing!

Please have your child read 20 minutes each night and talk about their reading. Your child should have questions to quide your discussions. Parents, please sign his/her reading log.

We have seen great progress with the students who are commited to reading every night. Thank you parents and students for reading. Reading is like sports, we only get better if we practice. 

Continue to practice and review multiplication facts, multi digit multiplication and division.
