The Blog is Back!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Pershing has been a busy place and there are no signs of slowing down! There are daily events next week to celebrate the Jumping Jack being passed as our state exercise. Look for the yellow flyer in the Friday folder. Remember that students are out of school on Monday, November 10. Check out the other upcoming events listed to the right.

Thank you for attending your child's conference. It is always so nice to visit with parents in person!

If you would like to help your child improve his/her math skills at home, there are several simple ways to do that! Create 3 digit subtraction problems and help your child solve them, practice one digit multiplication problems with the flashcards we sent home or write problems out for your child, practice division problems with your child; 81/9, or 36/4, for example.

Students also need extra support when writing sentences. Give your child a sentence to write. Does it have a capital letter? Does it have correct punctuation? Is the spelling correct? Are there capital letters in the middle of words or the beginning of words that are not necessary?

Please continue to read with your child. Remember that reading 1 book all week is encouraged. Reading at home with a grown-up will improve both fluency and comprehension. Thank you for helping your child with the extra support!
