*Remember:

1. Put sunscreen on your kids at home in the morning, we cannot put it on them at school.

2. Send a towel with them to school and a disposable water bottle.

3. If they are staying for PASAR or day care send a change of clothes just in case they get wet.

4. Friday would be a good day to bring a lunch!

 

Parent Conferences and Spirit Assemblies

Hello Parents! 

This week we are continuing our venture into double digit addition and subtraction. Students are using a 1-100 chart to figure out the equations. Be sure to ask them questions and quiz them to encourage their learning! Here is a great game that they can play at home.

On Thursday November 13th I will be having my parent conferences. Look next week for the sign up sheet, as times will be given on a first come basis. If you are unable to meet on the 13th, I will have some slots available for the morning and afternoon times. 

 

We have our first school wide design challenge this week.  All design challenges will occur on Spirit Assembly days. Our first challenge will be this Friday.  Students will design, create, and improve their own bubble wand.  With Field Day coming up Friday, October 24th, the coordinators want to save money, by having students make their own bubble wands.

Our first assembly will be this Friday, October 17th at 8:00 a.m. Students are invited  to dress in something they think is awesome (tell them no scary Halloween costumes and nothing with masks). Ideas: Superhero, cool clothes, book character, favorite animal, favorite food…anything awesome.

 

PV stands for Place value and Parent volunteers.

We have moved on from money in math and delving into two- digit addition using different strategies such as the hundreds chart and place value.  Have your child explain to you how they came up with the answer when working on these strategies at home.

Tutoring is now in full swing.  It will be held every Tuesday.  Keep an eye out for a tutoring slip from your child because it is flexible tutoring this year.  Every Tuesday will have a different group of students invited to tutoring.

The Health museum was fantastic!  The students were engaged and did an excellent job on their displays.  

 

Students also have a new reading log coming home this week. Please write the book they read, for how many minutes, and the date on the paper.

 

Parents, We always love volunteers. IF you would like to volunteer for anything this year, feel free to print off the picture below or write me a note. :)
