September 20th, 2019

Dear Parents,
We have had an amazing week in Lower Elementary. The weather has finally started to cool and we all are enjoying time spent outdoors. This week we have been presenting many lessons and the children have been successful in completing their work plans.

This week we continued our practice on quadrilaterals, antonyms, math operation, telling time, and counting coins. First graders, were give their first presentation on the timeline of organisms. This material allows for many research opportunities to be created in the classroom.

Please remember to sign up to volunteer for our Fall Festival. This is a great opportunity to help our PTO.

First Week of September

Dear Families,
We have several things coming up this month. This Friday, we will be having our first Peace Assembly. Third graders will be presenting. The assembly starts at 9:00 am and usually last 30 minutes. Also this Friday will be our first week of homework. Please keep in mind these are suppose to be activities that you and your child could complete together or they could do with little to no assistant. We will be sending home homework home in their red folder as well as a red notebook in which they will record all information. We will return the notebook each Friday. Again, remember that the most important activity your child can do nighly is read. If you have any questions contact your child's teacher.

Next week in class, students will be learning about the basic landforms and about the planets. All students will be given lessons on comparing fractions, counting coins, antonyms, and editing. First graders will learn more about nouns. Second graders will be learning about linking verbs and third graders will be practicing more sentences with adverbs.
