Norton Noteworthy News: Labor Day

Dear Parents,

We had a very busy week back after the storm. Here's what's happening:

Your child is taking a diagnostic test in Math.
We're starting our unit in science on Space.
Students have taken their first Daily Math Practice Quiz and have done quite well. Please sign and return all tests that are stamped "sign and return".
We had an exciting "LIFT OFF" rocket launch yesterday! All of the children pledged to read one million words (25 books+).
Next week we will begin our intensive study/review of multiplication facts. Your child will have a fact drill every other Friday on the facts assigned. Have them practice their facts by counting by each number (3, 6, 9, 12, ...). They can also visit http://www.mathfactcafe.com/. Have them practice their facts through the 12's.
We will be sending home the Code of Conduct next week. Please review the dress code. We will put a label on the front cover to remind you what pages to sign and return.
District Benchmark Testing for Grades 3rd, 4th, and 5th will begin September 8th.
Our first WildCat Chat went home yesterday. Did you get your copy? Check your child's Daily Folder in the Notes Home pocket. A copy of the Chat is also on-line at www.duvalschools.org/tlae.
Please return all White Cards, Blue Cards, Health Questionnaires, and PE/Health Screening Forms by Tuesday, September 2. We need this information to assist us in the clinic and for early dismissal of students.
