Math Curriculum Objectives:  Interested in knowing the math objectives for each unit at each grade level?  Check out the Parent Newsletters for each math unit here.
 
Math Lab Volunteers Needed
Fallsmead is planning to open the math lab (piloted last year by 2nd grade) to all grades.  Teachers will be able to sign up for some of their students to use the math lab in small groups.  The lab is too small to accommodate an entire class.  We would like for a parent volunteer to be in the math lab during these group visits.  We will provide training so that you are familiar with the materials in the lab.  If you can help, please contact Vina Coonin at president@fallsmeadpta.org.  Thanks!
 
Volunteers needed to help prepare Guided Reading Books for Student Use AND to organize Book Room
Good news!  We have many new guided reading books that have arrived at Fallsmead.  We need volunteers to stamp and tape them so that they are ready for student use.  Volunteers will be working at Fallsmead and will be given instructions on how to prepare the books properly.  If you can help, please contact Vina Coonin at president@fallsmeadpta.org.  Thanks!
 
Get ready for B-I-N-G-O!
Reserve your spot now for Fallsmead Bingo on Sunday Jan 11 3-5pm.  Please make checks out to Fallsmead PTA for $10 and drop in the PTA mailbox near the front office.  The 5th grade will be selling pizza and we will have celebrity callers.  A guaranteed good time on a cold winter's day!
 
Do you have good educational websites to recommend?
We are compiling online resources for students and parents.  If you have an educational website to recommend, please forward the site (and a brief description) to Vina Coonin at president@fallsmeadpta.org.  Thanks!
 
Would you like to get weekly email updates on Fallsmead happenings?
The PTA sends out weekly email updates and reminders regarding Fallsmead events.  If you would like to be on the distribution list, please sign up for PTO Manager at http://fallsmead.ptomanager.com/ or you can send your email to president@fallsmeadpta.org.  Thanks!
 
PTA directories
PTA directories include contact information for all students and faculty as well as the PTA calendar. If you did not receive yours, or would like to join the PTA and receive a directory as part of your membership, please contact Rupali Luthra at membership@fallsmeadpta.org.
 
Knights and Castles Club - FULL ENROLLMENT
We have had an overwhelming response to the new chess club, Knights and Castles. Unfortunately the FALLSMEAD KNIGHTS & CASTLES CHESS CLUB has reached its maximum and at this point we are taking names down to try to accommodate new players in the future. If you are interested, you can still submit your child's name and we will add your son/daughter's name to the waitlist and will email you when there is an availability. Thank you for your interest.
