Multiplication Sundae Party

***This letter was sent home with your student***

We have been working very hard on learning the basic facts of multiplication. As a way to reward the students’ hard work we will be having an ice cream sundae party. The students earn parts of the sundae for completing a test of the basic facts with 100% accuracy. For each test that the student passes they get a different part of the sundae. For example: pass the test over the 2’s and earn the bowl, pass the 3’s and earn a banana, pass the 4’s, 5’s, and 6’s and earn scoops of ice cream, etc.
I am asking for your help with the ingredients needed to make the “multiplication sundaes”. If you would be willing to help, please check one item from the list below, sign at the bottom, and send this note back to me by May 27. All ingredients need to be at school for our sundaes on May 31.

_ ½ gallon of vanilla ice cream

½ gallon of chocolate ice cream

½ gallon of strawberry ice cream

bananas (need total of 8 - please indicate number)
