We have completed our Pumpkin Character projects! The kids really out-did themselves. I'll post some pictures this week.
Our annual Food Drive starts this week. Can goods and non-perishable items can be brought in anytime before Thanksgiving break. Let's break some records this year!
Worthington picture retakes will be Wednesday November 7th.
Our fabulous Veterans Day assembly will be Thursday November 8th. It is always a touching tribute to our Veterans.
Our Language arts standards this nine weeks are:
- inference
- context clues
- cause/effect
- sequence
- synonyms
- multiple meaning words
- homophones, metaphors
- using charts
- verbs
- using quotation marks and commas
In math, we will continue working on rounding and estimating, and then we start multiplication! We will start times tests each week, so practice will be so important each night. We also will introduce patterns and relationships, as well as geometry/solids and shapes.
Life cycles, rocks and minerals, and soil will be our focus in science, and we continue to explore communities in social studies.
I'm so proud of each and every student and the way they conducted themselves during our conferences this past nine weeks. The way they explained themselves and more importantly, their learning, was impressive! We will be setting new goals(love those big rocks!) and continue to monitor our progress. As always, if you'd like to see their leadership notebooks, just ask your child to bring it home. Thanks to all parents that came to share in your child's learning!
We will be talking about the Seven Habits in more detail...although the kiddos really amaze me with their understanding AND application. What a wonderful atmosphere to work in!
