Week of August 21st - 25th



We had a wonderful week in Lower Elementary! The week began with students viewing the Solar Eclipse and ended with 3rd graders performing the Second Great Lesson - The Drama of the Archeozoic Ocean. A wonderful time was had by all!

For language jobs this week, first graders sorted nouns, put words in alphabetical order, and reviewed compound words. Second graders reviewed verb tenses, put words in alphabetical order, and reviewed compound words. Third graders discussed the various types of adverbs, put words in alphabetical order, and reviewed compound words

For math jobs this week, first graders made numbers with golden beads and then practiced adding those numbers together. They were introduced to fractions, named quadrilaterals, and wrote number words. Second grade students reviewed large addition and multiplication operations, reviewed fractions, and defined the six types of quadrilaterals. Third grade students reviewed all operations, reviewed fractions, and defined the six types of quadrilaterals.




For cultural subjects, students did artwork and experiments that 
deepened their understanding of  solar eclipses. Students also wrote a sentence and drew a picture which described their understanding of the Second Great Lesson - The Drama of the Archeozoic Ocean.

The 2017-2018 school year is fast approaching! Lower Elementary teachers have been busy in our classrooms preparing the perfect environment for our students. We are very excited for school to begin on August 7th!

We know that students can reach their highest potential when teachers and parents partner together. A strong partnership with you will make a great difference in your child's education. As partners, we share the responsibility for our children's success and want you to know that we will do our very best to carry out our responsibilities.

We also want to welcome Mrs. Shweta to our Lower Elementary team! She is a wonderful addition to our team! 

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the Lower Elementary orientation on Thursday, August 3rd at 10 am!  Lower Elementary orientation will be held in your child's classroom. We will discuss important information about the coming school year and will have an opportunity to answer any questions you may have. We are looking forward to a great year!
