Final Week of School

Room K-3 students enjoy the bouncy castle obstacle course at the Ice Social Super Party.

It's been a great year, thanks for all your help.

This Friday is a Half Day
This Friday, June 17th is the last day of school.  It is a half day, students will be dismissed at 10:50 AM.

Report Cards Go Home on Friday
This Friday report cards will go home with students in the manila envelope.  I will also send home a large brown portfolio of school work on Wednesday or Thursday.

Curriculum Overview
Science/Social Studies - We are studying and mapping the neighborhood here in Northside.  Students built small models of the homes and apartments to create a 3D representation of our neighborhood.  We also built a model of A2 STEAM, the Kroger Shopping center, and Leslie Science Center to add to our map.

Math - We are becoming more fluent with our addition and subtraction math facts including problems that have more than one step or addend.

Literacy - We have been enjoying some books by author Chris Van Allsburg.  Ask your students about Two Bad Ants and The Sweetest Fig.

Writing - This week I hope to have students write about the 3D map we create.

Word Study - We are studying synonyms and antonyms.

Ice Cream Social is this Friday, June 10th

Students build models of their homes to put on our 3D Map.

Blue and Clear Home Reading Bags
Many students have already returned their blue and clear home reading bags to me.  If you haven't yet please send those bags back so I can use the books again next year.  Also, if you see a book from our Media Center around your home get it back to Ms. Reader so she can get the library in order.

A2STEAM Ice Cream Social is Friday, June 10, 6-8pm!
Mark your calendars for the super-fun annual Ice Cream Social--with FREE games, petting zoo, bounce-houses, and other events!

Curriculum Overview
Science/Social Studies - We are studying and mapping the neighborhood here in Northside.  Students will build small models of the homes and apartments where they live to create a 3D representation of our neighborhood.  We will also build a model of A2 STEAM, the Kroger Shopping center, and Leslie Science Center to add to our map.

Math - As part of our 3D mapping we are reviewing 3 dimensional shapes and figures as well as becoming more fluent with our addition and subtraction math facts including problems that have more than one step or addend.

Literacy - We have been reading non-fiction books about neighborhoods as well as enjoying some books by author Chris Van Allsburg.

Writing - Students are writing and drawing about their favorite spot in their neighborhood.  We are also finishing up some writing in Seesaw that needs final revisions.
