Lacrosse in Gym Class!

Students have been learning the basics of lacrosse in gym class.

Hello, I hope this week finds you well!

This Friday, February 15th
We may or may not have school this Friday, February 15th.  Unfortunately we won't know for sure until tomorrow, February 12th.  Due to the election laws, the district is unable to confirm a May election until the filing deadline of February 12th--after which point we will immediately notify families about the status of the school day on February 15th.  The school is asking that families prepare for either eventuality.  Monday, February 18th, is definitely a no school day.

Home Reading Bags
Send in those Home Reading ziploc bags so I can get some new books for you to read with your children.

Valentine's Day
Please remember to bring in a valentine for every Room K-3 student this Thursday.  No candy or food please.

Curriculum Overview

Science -  We have begun our next Project Based Learning unit!  The questions driving our learning are:  What do plants and animals need to survive? AND What do I need to survive? Last week we discussed living and non-living things and examined a plant that had died.  We also planted seeds that we will grow in our indoor vertical garden.  I will post some photos on Seesaw.

Reading -  This week we will read some more fiction books that show friendships and caring classrooms.  Ask your students about the book The Rat and the Tiger.

Writing - Students have been eager to write each messages so we are taking some time to learn how to write a personal letter.  We also have been designing and writing cards to each other.

Math - We are covering simple computation and how to use and interpret the addition and subtraction symbols.  Later in the week we will also look at and discuss graphs.

Word Study - Students are learning the long and short sound of each vowel.
