Winter Break Stretch

Dear Families,

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We have three weeks before winter break, and the weeks will be packed with learning! We will continue with our ROCKS but will also be working on a biography book project. The students might be bringing their books home at night to read. The projects will be due December 16th. All work will be completed at school unless a student is not using their time wisely.

We are in the middle of unit 4 in math and will be taking a test within the next two weeks. We will then begin on unit 5 before break.

Thank you for all you do and for all of your support!

Take care,
Jamie Smith

Welcome Back

Dear Families,

Welcome Back to school after a wonderful fall break! We will be busy the next few weeks before Thanksgiving on our Heritage Project, Ameritowne, FOSS, Writing, Reading and Math! Students should be completing 30 minutes of reading every night and then completing their ROCK sheets. Thank you for your support!

Heritage Day is November 18th from 9:45-10:15. You are welcome to join us in our classroom as the students celebrate where they came from. Remember students can create posters, food dishes and even wear outfits that resemble their heritage. We are looking forward to a fun celebration.

This week is conference week. I am looking forward to sharing the progress of each of your children!

Take care!
