Speaking American
Students Compete in State Finals
Kudos to Malorie Baldinger, Caroline Foley, Ben Gaston, and Casey Wells for their one minute speech "If I Had One Hundred Dollars" in the state finals of the Speaking American competition April 7th. Room 35 was well represented. Congratulations to Casey Wells who tied for first place and walked away with $50. I wonder what she will do now that she has $50.

What A Crew!
Student Teacher and SHS Volunteers
We are thrilled to have plenty of extra help in room 35. Ms. Ashley Lyon is a student at Worcester State University. She is completing her final practicum with us(aka student teaching). This month Ashley will be taking the lead in several subjects allowing me to coordinate some small group sessions with students in reading and math.
Ms. Katelyn Lajoi is a senior at Shrewsbury High School and is completing her ACE Internship. A former Coolidge student Ms. Lajoi is tutoring reading and math with our students.
Ms. Jamie is a sophomore at SHS who volunteers Tuesday and Thursday afternoons after she finishes own her classes. She too is a former Cooldige student. Ms. Jamie works with students to reinforce the days math lesson.
We are thankful for all the help and support these vital young ladies offer to our students. I look foreward to having my current students come back as a SHS tutor or a student teacher.

Just the Facts!
Fact Mastery Now Includes Multiplication
The key to success in mathematics is timely, accurate recall of the basic facts. Addition should be mastered at the conclusion of grade one, subtraction at the end of grade two, multiplication by the holiday break in grade three, and division by the end of grade three. For students to successfully solve the multi-step computation problems that are part of the third grade curriculum mastery of the four basic operations is essential. Please continue to practice and review for ten minutes each night.
