Dear Parents,
It is hard to believe that the month of March is over, we have completed the third quarter and we are in our last months of school. Wasn’t it just Thanksgiving a couple of weeks ago? This also makes me realize that we are headed into much warmer weather and all the wonderful spring sports. If your child is playing a sport could you please send me a copy of their schedule I would appreciate it.
This past week was quite busy as we talked out what we all did over the break, got back to learning and our school routines, and enjoyed learning about South African dance at the Humanities Assembly. We began our unit on Explorers and will learn about Christopher Columbus, Juan Ponce de Leon, Jacques Cartier, and Christopher Newport. In Science we continue to discuss Energy, Force and Motion. We will finish up this unit by the end of next week. In Math we continued our study of fractions while thinking about ways to divide pretend brownies and cookies to equally share with friends. We also created imaginative houses using different sized fractions. In Health we discussed alcohol, and tobacco and how these affect our bodies. Overall we had a good week of learning.
As we have entered the final quarter of the year, the children and I took a bit of time this week to discuss how to continue the good work they have been doing all year and finish the year strong. We reviewed the need to complete all assigned homework, remember books and homework each day, and to practice Tuckahoe’s three “R’s” (respect, responsibility and rights of others) each and every day. We all agreed, we can do this with positive attitudes.
Below are dates to put on your calendars for the coming months. Please check the flyers in Friday Folders for additional information on these events as well.
