Monday News

Dear Families,

We had a great first week of school. The students played games and did activities to get to know their classmates. We read The North Star by Peter Reynolds. We have started to create rules and expectations in our classroom. We also had our first outdoor day on Thursday. The students voted to name our days outside, “Thrilling Thursdays”. We started to discuss organisms and looking at how scientists classify.

First homework assignment due Friday:

The students will be personalizing their writing notebooks. The writing notebook is a place for writers to catch all the inspiration they find in their lives that could lead to a piece of writing.  We personalize the notebook with pictures and memorabilia of important moments, all of which call to mind stories we might want to write about in some form. Collect pictures and magazine clippings to personalize your notebook. Parents may email the pictures to me and I will print the pictures if you’d like.
