Weeks of Sept. 2 and Sept. 8

Hello and welcome to the new school year!

We are off to a super start! Here's what's happening!!


We have started off the new year by reviewing rules in the classroom and the hallways. With the new addition and playground, things have been a bit confusing for all of us but it is going well.

Reading - We read the story Chuka's Hawk. The kids will do some extensions with hawks the next two weeks that will include poetry, parts of speech, drawing, and research. This is a unit that the kids really enjoy.

Math - We just finish taking a beginning of the year test so that we can see what the children remember from second grade. We will start with place value on Monday .

Science - We just started our plant unit. The children have been carefully observing seeds, sorting them and showing measurements. We will study plants, life cycles and food chains for 6 weeks.

Early out is Wednesday, Sept. 10
