Great First Week Back!

 Dear Parents, 

We had an amazing first week back. The children were eager to work and spend time with their friends. We had opportunities to work as well as get to know each other better. This week, we focused on assessing the children. Looking forward, this week we will be moving into the work cycle. All students will receive lessons on large addition, place value work, ABC order, and compound words. We will start a unit on narrative writing as well. All students will complete weekly work on telling time as well as counting coins. These are great skills that can be practiced at home. 

Many jobs in the classroom will be based on your childś reading ability. Jobs such as SRA, Barnell Loft, and vocabulary can be altered and modified to meet the needs of each child. We look forward to a great week. Please continue to complete the health forms at home before school. Check in is going great because of your help! Let me know if you ever have any questions or concerns.

What a week!

Last week the 3rd graders went to Camp McDowell. This is an environmental camp located in Jasper, Alabama. The students spent 3 days and 2 nights exploring nature. This is a wonderful opportunity for children to learn about their environment as well as appreciate the beauty of nature. 

Here are some pictures from our travels.

Last week the students had a blast! We had our 3rd annual Peace Assembly with the 1st graders presenting. That afternoon we enjoyed a special Valetineś Day snack. Thank you to all of the parents who were willing to help. 

This week, we have been finishing up our invertebrate research. Please join the Lower Elementary for a "Hall of Invertebrates" presentation on Friday, March 6th from 2:00-3:00 in the gym. Students have conducted research on various invertebrates and are excited to share their learning with you!  Come by and hear presentations about Sea Stars, Black Widows, Sea Slugs, and even some invertebrates that students "discovered" themselves! We hope you can drop in!
