Beginning this month, third, fourth, and fifth graders will have the opportunity to participate in three more academic enrichment programs - Continental Math League, WordMasters, and The National Current Events League. These programs are national in nature and the materials, testing dates, and testing protocols are established by the sponsoring organizations. On November 9th and 10th selected students will participate in the National Current Events League Meet and the Continental Math League Contest. The top students in each grade will be recognized in the December Little River Review. WordMasters is a vocabulary development program which prepares the students, with analogies, for future standardized testing situations.
Analogies challenge students to know the meanings of words and their relationships to other words.
If you would like a chance to prove that you can compare word meanings, watch for the preparation materials for the December WordMasters and study with your child. November 6th and 7th are conference days for parents and teachers. There will be no school for students on these two days. We are enclosing a sample ballot for the November 7th General Election. Please remember to vote on November 7th.
