Week in Review: September 16th-20th


We had another incredible week in Lower Elementary! 

Last week, First grade students wrote homophones in sentences, practiced telling time to the half hour, and continued to explore fractions. Second graders worked with equivalent fractions, created sentences with an article, adjective, noun, and verb, and had continued practice on addition. Third graders compared fractions, reviewed past tense verbs, and worked word problems. All students received presentations on volcanoes and the planets. The highlight of our week was the Peace Assembly on Thursday. The Lower Elementary students did a wonderful job hosting the assembly by presenting the elements (water, earth, wind, fire) and singing the song "Teaching Peace".  

This coming week, students will receive presentations on homographs, money, phonics, polygons, and grammar (adjective, prepositions, and past tense verbs). We we have a wonderful time! 


REMINDERS:
- All homework is typically sent home on Monday and is to be completed during the week. It is due on Friday. Students will be given Spelling tests and Math Timed tests in class every Friday. For this week, students should complete the review chapter in the spelling book. This week's spelling test, however, will come from a personalized specific list of words that will be sent home with the students on Monday. Please look for more information and the spelling list in your child's red folder! 

-Please remember that students must be at school no later than 8:15. 

-Reading Logs are to be signed each night. Be sure to return them each day in your child's red folder.

Have a great week!
