Monday News

Dear Families,

Monday is fire safety day.

Students have started book clubs in reading and they are enjoying reading with peers.

Friday is the last day of the first trimester already. It's hard to believe we're already a third of the way through the school year. Report cards will go home on December 4th.

The book fair will be the week of November 27th. There will be more information coming home soon.

Enjoy your week,

Dear Families,

There will be a couple changes to the homework starting this week. Your child will bring home a calendar with the changes. The students will continue to have 20 minutes of reading each night required. However, this may also include reading assigned from school. This reading can be used for book projects. Students will also bring home their cursive books on Mondays and return the books on Fridays. They will need to do 2 pages in their cursive books each week. We will also have weekly sight word lists assigned. Sight word assessments will be on Fridays. This homework is meant to be work that students can do independently at home. You can support your child by providing a quiet place to work.

Kinderbuddies!

Happy Halloween!

Dear Families,

Happy Halloween! I'm sure many of you are without power. What a storm! I hope everyone is safe and warm! We will be rescheduling fire safety day and kinderbuddies. I will let you know when a date is set.

The first book project is due Friday. The students will need to do a retell and a drawing of the setting from the book they read.

I have decided that we will only have students for our first publishing party for our narrative unit. In December, we will have another publishing party on the same day as the holiday singalong. At this publishing party, we will share our narrative and informational writing with families.

Happy Halloween,

Mrs. Carter

Dear Families,

Our field trip to Shelburne Museum will be on Wednesday. Please make sure your child is wearing comfortable shoes for lots of walking. Our focus will be on westward expansion. 

Original Works are due to P.I.E. by Monday, October 23rd. This makes great gifts for the holidays (and students) and is a great way to support the school and all our budding artists! All orders will be returned by the end of November.

P.I.E. is organizing Trunk-or-Treating in the BPMS parking lot on Saturday, October 28th from 5:30 to 6:30 pm. Decorate your car or truck’s trunk with a theme, or just come out in costume! Be sure to take a stroll through the Spooky Walk as well!

Monday, October 30th is Fire Safety Day and Tuesday, November 7th is the MMU orchestra and Drum Line performance at noon. 

Enjoy your week,

Mrs. Carter

Dear Families,

There is no school on Thursday and Friday this week. The first book project assignment went home last week. Students should be reading a book at home and writing a retell about the book and drawing the setting. This is due November 3rd. Please contact me if you have questions. 

We will continue to work on our fiction stories in writing workshop. We will have a publishing party in November. I am sending out a survey to see if there is a time that works best for families to attend. 

Last week we got to know our kinderbuddies. The kinderbuddies' artwork is on display in the gym. 

Enjoy your week,

Mrs. Carter
