Hello everyone! It is hard to believe that our year together is almost done! Just wanted to remind you of a few things that will be happening as we wind down the year.

WEDNESDAY -  Progress Reports are sent home. PLEASE sign and return the progress report by Friday. 

THURSDAY- Lower Elementary goes bowling! Be sure to wear or bring socks!   We will leave around 9:30 and return in time for lunch.

FRIDAY - Comfortable clothes/game day! Students may bring a non-electronic game to play and may wear comfortable clothing. The cafeteria will be closed, so we will be ordering pizza. Dismissal is at 1:00. NO AFTERCARE!

Week in Review: May 4th-8th

What a great week! Students were busy at work completing quarterly reviews in Language Arts and Math, taking STAR reading and math tests, and completing choice jobs. For cultural jobs, students began a unit on the human body. Students focused on the central nervous system and the different parts of the brain.

The highlight of the week was Field Day! Despite the heat, all the students had a great time!

Next week, students will review fractions, practice counting sets of coins, edit sentences, and measure using rulers. It will be a great week!

Week in Review: April 27th - May 1st

We had another wonderful week in Lower Elementary! It is hard to believe that May is here! The time has flown!

For language arts jobs, first grade students completed an adverb grammar box, reviewed synonyms, matched pairs of rhyming words, and sorted phrases from sentences. Second grade students reviewed synonyms/antonyms, placed sentences in a logical order, and reviewed rhyming words. Third grade students placed sentences in a logical order, were introduced to interjections, and analyzed sentences.

For math jobs, first grade students measured objects in grams/ounces, completed addition word problems, reviewed telling time to the quarter hour, solved subtraction problems, and reviewed the commutative property. Second graders reviewed types of angles, practiced front end estimation, worked with expanded notation, and reviewed the commutative property for addition and multiplication. Third graders worked with expanded notation, reviewed place value, identified numbers as even or odd, and reviewed the properties of addition and multiplication.

For cultural jobs this week, students explored reading thermometers. We look forward to beginning our study of the human body next week.

Here is a glimpse into our fantastic week:
