August 27-31, 2012

Dear Parents,

Whew! What a great week back! It was wonderful getting a chance to meet some of you and getting to know your kids this week. They were all very sweet and seemed happy to be back at Rio. Thank you for all of the supplies and wish list items you sent in. They will come in handy throughout the year.

On Monday, students will be receiving a reading log/math subtraction facts packet that will be due on Friday. You may be wondering why the subtraction seems so easy? Since these skills become rusty over the summer we like the students to practice daily before moving on to multiplication in a few months. They will also have nightly math homework Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights that go along with our Houghton Mifflin curriculum. Although we do check the nightly math in class, please be sure your child is doing their work carefully and correctly.

This time of year we are also beginning the Innisbrook fundraiser. A packet will be coming home with your child on Monday.

That's all for now! Have a wonderful, restful weekend!
