Multiplication Practice
http://www.multiplication.com/interactive_games.htm
This is a link to interactive games for practicing multiplication. Most of them are free games to play. If they have a grey square around them and say advertisement, it is not free to play. There are only a few like this. Have fun! This link is also under resources.

Homework 8/24/10
Tonight’s homework is to read for 20 minutes and practice multiplication facts. Don’t forget on Wednesdays we dismiss at 2:55. I sent home “Click” from scholastic. All book orders are due by Sept. 3rd at the end of the day. This includes online orders. Don’t forget that students can bring a healthy snack to help them make it to our noon lunch.
Spelling
I know many parents are concerned with what might be considered an "easy" spelling list. At Garfield we use a spelling program called Rebecca Sitton. The idea behind the program is for students to become good spellers in their everyday writing, not just for the "Friday" test. The students who need a challenge will get this with the dictation sentences that I will be giving each child along with the regular spelling test.

First Day of School
Parents,
Remember that tomorrow (Monday the 23rd) school is dismissed at noon. If you have children in kindergarten or first grade than your 4th grader will be over with their younger siblings on the north side of the school going onto the play ground.
We do have a spelling test this Friday. Words will be going home tomorrow. If you go to http://www.spellingcity.com/bekahjwadkins/ you will be able to play spelling games to practice your words.
I'm looking forward to a great week!

How to look at your child's grade online
If you would like to keep track of your child's grade online follow these easy steps!
First you need to fill out the parents on line enrollment form. I have copies of this form.You can also access this form through the resources on the left. It is titled Parent Enrollment Form for Grades.
Once you have filled out this form have your child bring it into school and I will turn it into the office.
Once the technology department receives your form you will get an email saying that you have successfully been registered.
Once you have filled out this form you can then check your child's grade. I will try to update daily. Grades will definitely be updated by end of school every Friday. There is a link under resources to get you to the correct website.

Dear Parent,
Now it's easier than ever to find the right books for your child — and help us earn FREE books for our classroom library at the same time!
With new online ordering from Scholastic Book Clubs, you can choose from a much wider selection of books than in the printed flyer. Plus, you can send your orders directly to me online and use your credit card.

It's so simple! Here's how it works:
SIGN UP at www.Scholastic.com/bookclubs. On the parent page, click the "Don't have a User Name and Password?" link, then register for your own username and password. When prompted, enter the one-time Class Activation Code shown above. This code ensures that your order is sent to me.
SELECT the books you'd like to order from over 500 titles available online...and take advantage of online-only specials and discounts.
SEND your order to me online by the due date. Books will be delivered directly to our classroom, as always.
Of course, you can still order using the form from the printed flyer. But why not experience for yourself how convenient it is to order online?
Ordering online is fast, easy, and secure. Plus our whole class benefits thanks to the FREE books we'll earn with every parent online order.
