Dear Parents,
I would like to begin this week with a big thank you to the
parents whom accompanied us today to the National Building Museum. From the hum of excited voices as we left,
through the morning of instruction and building everyone seemed to enjoy the
day. The city we built was both fun and
functional. Who knows, maybe the next
generation of city planners will include one of our students!
With Parent Teacher Conferences over, and the two shortened
weeks coming to an end today, we are working to get back into our normal
routine. As you may know from your
child’s assignment notebook, we continue to be learning about collecting data
and how to present it in Science. We are
reviewing subtraction of larger numbers and how to borrow and regroup when
needed in Math. In Language Arts we have been working in our Word Study Groups,
and discussing how to put together sentences using subjects and predicates
along with adjectives.
I would again like to remind everyone to take a few minutes
each evening to go over the assignments your child has for the evening. They should be able to complete these
assignments with little assistance from you, but a bit of help from you to go
over the pacing of the work will help. I
will say for the most part assignments are coming back on time and well
done.
The
leaves are beginning to change outside out window and the temperature is
fluctuating with early signs of Fall.
This signals me to take a moment out to remind everyone that the
children do need to be dressed appropriately for the weather each day. The children do go outside each day for
recess and we want them to be warm enough to enjoy their time on the
playground.
Below you will find a list of some of the upcoming events at
school. There are several flyers about these activities in your child's Friday folder as well. Please mark the dates on your
