Does your student need more practice with the multiplication facts? We have found a new website to play and learn by working against the clock! As you probably know, we have cut the time in half for the multiplication tests. They need to do 25 problems in ONE MINUTE. Click on the LINK to the right of this post. Scroll down to the bottom to see the different ways to beat the clock.

Once upon a time...GET YOUR STORIES READY!
Fourth Graders will be participating in the Storytelling Festival in February. They were given a paper about this requirement about a week ago. They should be preparing a story to be presented the week of February 8th in the classroom. The story can be a folktale, a fairytale, a version of a favorite book, or even an original composition. We ask that the stories are between - two and three minutes long. Props are okay to use. The story is to be memorized and in the student's own words. Two winners will be selected to advance to the school wide competition. Good luck!

Animal Reports, Book Reports, Multiplication Changes
The 4th Graders are rotating assignments for the new year. Some classes will be working on book reports, while other will be working on their animal reports. Please watch for papers coming home to help your student with their project. Thanks for your support!
Our Ice Cream Celebration for Multiplication happened right before the Christmas break. Everyone enjoyed an ice cream sundae! Now students have a new challenge. The new time for passing the test is cut in half, from 2 minutes to 60 seconds. Another change is that students will be graded for each test. We will start at 2's and continue through 10's again. USE THE NEW LINK TO THE RIGHT "FUN MULTIPLICATION GAMES" TO HAVE YOUR STUDENT REVIEW! MY FAVORITE IS SNOWBALL FIGHT!
Welcome to 2010!
Welcome back to a new fresh start at Cedar Ridge Elementary. Students will be given the second District Reading Assessment during the next few weeks. We look forward to seeing their improvement as we test students in words per minute and reading comprehension skills. Please make sure bedtimes are early! We appreciate your support!
