Have you visited the www.raidermath.weebly.com website lately? Go there for the most current updates of our math raiders. We had a record number of 150+ sixth graders testing for membership in the Junior Varsity Math Club. What a wonderful thing to have so many students interested in math! The following is a list of the clubs as they start meeting next week:
1. Monday – Junior Varsity I – 4:15 to 5:30. (All names are posted outside Mrs. Curtice’s, Mrs. Hitchcock’s and in the sixth grade pod area) 2. Tuesday – Junior Varsity II – 4:15 to 530 3. Thursday – Junior Varsity III – 4:15 to 5:30 Parents will need to pick up all students at 5:30. NO BUSES are available. If that is a problem, please contact Mrs. Curtice or try to carpool. The curriculum for the three JV clubs will begin with number sense and calculator skills. For three weeks, the students may attend and practice at home. After that time period, Mrs. Curtice will evaluate if any downsizing needs to occur. 4. Wednesday – Varsity Math Club I – taught by Ms. Nal 5. Wednesday – Varsity Math Club II – taught by high school students and Mrs. Curtice We welcome any older siblings who need service hours and would like to volunteer. MARK YOUR CALENDARS – PARENT MEETING – WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10 QMVS – ROOM 304 – at 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. There have been some drastic changes in the fees for transportation in FBISD. Mrs. Curtice would like to share this information as well as ask for parent volunteers to take some of the organizational responsibility. Managing 4 clubs and teaching full time is too demanding. Please consider volunteering to be in charge of t-shirts, cookie dough fund raiser (very easy this year), TMSCA competitions, Math Counts competitions, etc. If everyone steps up, the job becomes much more manageable. We are very lucky to still have Mrs. Nal to help with our Varsity Math. She comes four days a week at 7th period to teach a group of 32 students in Competition Math. On Fridays, we meet in one large group as she is not available. If there are any parent(s) available on Friday who would like to team up and present mini-math lessons, Mrs. Curtice would welcome the help. OTIS RETURNS AGAIN – Cookie Dough Time Yes, we are going to be offering the Cookie Dough again. This year the process if much more streamlined. The orders will be typed in by Otis Spunkmeyer, packaged separately for each student and delivered intact. No more sorting and putting orders together! This year there is a special web link to order on line and you can send it to your friends and family! I know some people do not want to order the product, so we will have a form for donations. But that is a topic for Wednesday night. We may be using private transportation this year, so I need someone to call the list of people I have and get actual fees so Mrs. Curtice can budget. We are going to be doing a lot of car pooling this year to get to away competitions. We have marked October 11 for a Math Counts competition to be hosted at QVMS. We will be responsible for concessions. STAR LEARNING is handling all the trophies and tests. Of course, we need graders! That is more than enough for now! Please feel free to call me anytime 281-980-1320 up until 10:00 at night. I have no time during the day to return phone calls. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with your students. They truly make me proud! Mrs. Curtice Comments are closed.
