A Monday Update!


Hello, everyone!  Here’s a quick update for our week:

  • Field Trip- We are going to Flying Creek tomorrow! It looks like it will be a beautiful fall day!  Please remember to send a solid lunch, snacks and lots of water with your child.  Please ensure that they have long pants, a sweater or jacket for the morning, and good runners or hikers.  Looking forward to a great day- and thanks in advance to Mrs. Shoobert and Mr. Markusson who are joining us tomorrow! J Pictures to follow...
  • Math- We are about halfway through Unit 1.  I have attached the Extra Practice sheets for Unit 1 to this email, for optional practice at home. 
  • Reading- We are also halfway through our novel, The Breadwinner!  The plot is thickening…
  • Reading/Writing- By the end of this week, we will have “launched” the first three elements of the “Daily 5”- “Read to Self”, “Read to Someone”, and “Work on Writing”.  Students are working hard to build independence and stamina in each of these three areas.
  • Art- Students are working on a personal collage assignment with Mrs. McCrea.  They are welcome to bring old magazines or personal photos that would help represent their identity.
  •  School Photos- Wednesday!
  • Gym Blast- Friday.  This is a fun-filled, team-building activity for students in Gr. 6-8.  Students have been broken up into four color groups and they are encouraged to dress in their team colors on Friday for the big event!

Have a great week!
