Weather!

This week we will be taking a closer look at weather. Please keep and eye out for your students weather project coming home this week. This project is for your child to do at home and return in two weeks finished. This is a great chance for your child to share what we are learning in class. New AR goals have been set for each student so make sure your student is reading every night and knows the names of the books so they can take a test in class.

Field trip Wednesday

Please send your student with their $3.00 by Wednesday. They won't be able to go on the field trip if they don't have their money.

Thursday, December 18, 2014

We have our Christmas parties this afternoon. Please remember that if you have not done a background check you are unable to participate. Parties will start around 2:30.  

The students will be getting out tomorrow at 1:30, enjoy your Christmas Break. 

Biome Project

We are working on a biome project this week. Along with creating a poster and writing a paper the students will all help to create a web page. The web page can be found at the following link. Please remember that this is a work in progress and we will be adding to it a little each day. 

Biome Project

We have a popcorn sale on Friday, $0.50 a bag. 

We will have early dismissal on Friday, December 12, 2014. The students will be out at 1:30. 

Just a reminder that if you are looking for the spelling and vocabulary words can be found on the blog. We are currently in Unit 2 Week 5.

 If you have any questions please let me know. 

Reading Changes

Starting this week we will start having a 5 day reading week. This means that we will test on Fridays. The students are now use to the testing and how our new reading program works so we feel that this would be a great time to start back into a 5 day week. This should be a fun learning experience for everyone. If you have any concerns that come up please let me know. 

Leaders

We had our first quarter leadership assembly on Thursday!

It was led by the student leaders for September and October. We are so proud to have Matthew as the leader for the second grade!

What an awesome group of K-5 students ready to start first thing in the morning!

Then we had a student leader lead the Pledge of Allegiance and School Mission statement:

       

Student leaders read about why each student leader was chosen from Kindergerarten-5th Grade, and gave them medals:

 

The fifth grade leader demonstrated why he was chosen by his peers, as he assisted students with difficult words to read:

Students with perfect attendance and no tardies for the 1st quarter were recognized with singing and dancing:

Lunch with the principal and student leaders. Thanks Chick Fil A for the student lunches!
