Second Qurter News!

Learning Fun for Everyone!!

Math: We will be learning about money (counting coins, counting up to a dollar when making change, and different combinations of coins). We will also practice telling time to the Quarter Hour using the terms "quarter past, half past, and a quarter till".  We will also practice measuring to the nearest inch.

Reading: We will go into more depth about character traits and how that effects the plot of the story.  We will be writing and responding in our journals.

Writing: We will begin to learn how to write a personal memoir, and the parts of a friendly letter.  We will also continue our study of non-fiction writing.

Please practice with your students at home!  Let's get a fresh start with our reading logs.  We will have 7 to turn in this quarter!

Take a Peek At Our Week!

 

We have spent our first few weeks of school getting to know one another by doing lots of get to know you activities.  We have shared our “Me Bags,” made posters, and played games.  We wrote a book called, “Five Fun Things I Did This Summer” and have begun to learn and refresh our school and classroom rules and procedures!

The kids were very excited to dive into the classroom library today!  I am so happy to see that they have been reading!

I am sending home a group of addition practice sheets that you and your student may work on.  I would like them to know their facts from 0-9 fairly well so that we may begin to build up to harder concepts!

Community Garden…

Coming Soon!

Our school has received a

federal grant through the

Youth Health Partnership to start a Community vegetable garden!  We have a strong business partner ready to assist. However, we still need to get the ground ready!
We need a tractor with PTO, tiller, disc, and plow.  After this is done we will plan a "planting day" for the entire community to come out. Please pass the word and ask around!  This will truly be for OUR Lake community.  Keep watching for updates!
