Weekly news

Good Afternoon,
Students have figured out that the Harvest Fest is not far away and they are so excited! 
Please find a permission slip and a FACTS form for the 2nd grade field trip to Pioneer Village on Thursday, October 27. This is a fun outdoor field trip where students experience a pioneer village as they can learn about the history of the Western Expansion. Please return the forms promptly.


This week students have been writing about the weather and they finished up writing about "From a Pumpkin Seed to a Jack-O-Lantern. I see a lot of improvement in their writing from the beginning of the year. In math, students are continuing to regroup in addition and subtraction using bar models as a strategy to decide whether to add or subject. In religion, students we finished up the unit on the Ten Commandments. In science, we are learning about liquids and then gases next week. Since this is a short week there will not be a spelling test on Tuesday. There will be new spelling words and a new grid on Tuesday.
