We have made it through the first full week!!!

We had a great first week. The students are working hard and always seem excited to be at school. The overall classroom behavior has continued to improve daily! Today we will take our first set of test. This will be done as a group so that the students know what to expect when they have to complete the test on their own in the weeks to come. 

Next Week: 

•  We will be working on the second habit which is Begin with the End in Mind. This habit teaches the students to think of the outcome and then work towards that goal. 

• We will also be getting out early on Friday, September 4th. The students will be dismissed at 1:10. Please make sure that your student knows how they are getting home if you are unable to be here at 1:10.

• You can find the spelling, vocabulary, and high frequency words at the following link - Unit 1 Week 2 or you can find them by clicking on the wonders tab on the left side of the blog. 

First Day!

What an amazing first day! This is such an wonderful group of students. We do have a large class but they all worked so hard to day and they worked so well together. This is going to be an amazing year. 

BE PROACTIVE

This week and next week we will be working on the first habit: Be Proactive. This habit helps the students realize they are in charge of themselves. WE read a story today about Sammy the squirrel and how his friends couldn't find something for Sammy to do that wasn't boring.  The student's shared that it was up to Sammy to find something he wanted to do not his friends. This would be something wonderful for you to talk with your student about over the next few days. 

Open House

If you want to know who your student's teacher will be this coming school year please plan on attending our Open House. This years Open House will be on Tuesday, August 18 from 5:00 - 6:30. We hope to see you there!!

Summer is coming to and end.

As summer is coming to and end please be aware that our supply list is at most stores. We will be having our Open House in August and that will be when your student will be able to find out how their teacher is going to be for the coming school year.

This week . . .

This week we will be working on:

Reading

Weekly Concept: Cooperation Works!

Essential Question: How do people get along?

This is a great discussion started with your kiddos. Ask then 

so share what their classmates may have said or what they 

shared with the class. 

Math

Addition and subtraction strategies. We are working on finding different ways of solving problems without needing to draw a picture. We have been focusing on number lines and breaking numbers into simplified forms, example 15= 10+5. 

Pictures

I have added pictures from the Red Apple Gala. This was a great opportunity for four of our students to share all that they have learned about robotics. I was so proud watching them talk with members of our community.

I will be adding videos and pictures from the wax museum. The students did amazing. I am so proud of all of the hard work they put into their leaders. 

We are working so hard to make sure we know who are leaders and we are ready to share. I have been so impressed with all of the students hard work. I will try and add videos of the students working hard this week. I know that our guests on Friday are going to be really impressed with all of the students.
