Week of March 28-April 1

Our newest Leader of the Week is…

Caty!!!

Caty has been an exceptional leader! As hall monitor for the past several months, she has had the important job of helping the class to travel quietly through the halls and to reach our destination in a timely manner. She has put first things first by being a role model rather than socializing in the hall and she done this with a positive, can-do attitude! She is also a very hard working student and her success in the classroom is a direct result of her ability to begin with the end in mind! Keep it up, Caty!

Student Medication Reminder

This is just a reminder to parents that students are not permitted to carry medication to and from school with exception of an inhaler with documentation from the physician.  All medication is to be kept in the health room. Parents need to drop off any medication and fill out an authorization to give medication form before medication can be given. This is a board policy. If you have any questions, please contact our school nurse, Michelle Evans. Thank you!

 

Here’s what we will be learning about next week!

Science:  Our focus will continue to be on earth systems this week. However, this week, we will learn about how various systems interact with one another.

Social Studies: During social studies, we will continue to study the Civil War and the kids will get to explore Civil War stations that we will set up to show them what life was like during this awful war. This unit will culminate with a test on Friday.

Math: We will review and wrap up our unit on geometry with a test on Thursday.

Reading: This week, we will review the skills of comparing and contrasting 2 different texts and of pulling information from a text to support our thinking.

Writing: Since we finished The Little Prince this week, the kids will have the opportunity next week to write their own chapter for the book. The little prince is known for his travels and his confusion about adults and their strange ways, so they will create a new character for him to meet.
