Dear Parents and Guardians
Math: As you know, grade 3 students (and all students that are in higher grades) need to know all their multiplication facts up to 100. If your child is in grade 3 or higher and does not know them (yet), please, do start practicing them. I have practice sheets that I’m very happy to send home. This being said: Celeste E just finished her 12x12 times table. Congratulations, Celeste! Once you know the times tables, many math topics become so, so, so much easier!
Frau Hauk’s grade 2 class had a lot of fun during their field trip this week. Open Minds is such an amazing opportunity! Thank you to all the parents who have volunteered.
Next Thursday, the German Open House is on January 23, 2025 from 6:00 to 7:00PM. Pretzels are ordered! Please tell your friends! We do NOT have a lottery system at this point of time. Our Open House signs have been put up all over the NW and SW. I would very much appreciate it, if you could send me a quick email if you see a sign! If you mention its location, that would be even more helpful! Thank you in advance. I’m asking this of all our parents, not just the German ones as I would like to know which signs are seen the most.
Registration for NEXT YEAR kindergarten started on Monday, January 13, 2025. We already have 8 German kindergarten registrations! This is excellent!
Warm regards,
Meike Thomsen, Principal
