- Please email us about birthday treats or any other special snacks you plan to send in so we can confirm allergies first.

What you need to know about ice cream
Students may purchase ice cream for $1 to enjoy at lunch time. They will give the money to their teacher in the morning and make their selection. Ice cream will not be sold during lunch.
If you would like to celebrate your child’s birthday, we ask that you do so by purchasing the school ice cream. This will keep our school environment safe for our students who have food allergies.The cost for ice cream is $1 per student. You can send in money to your child’s teacher the day you would like to celebrate.
From Ms. Fenwick
Reading: We will begin working on the elements of a story with an emphasis on characters. Our first Wordly Wise quiz will be Friday, 8/26. Don't forget to have your student continue reading for their Genre Bingo Card and that a Reading Check-In on eCLASS is due every Friday under the First Nine Weeks.
Writing: We will begin our first unit on Narrative Writing. We will begin studying how fiction writers come up with ideas for realistic fiction stories and use their strategies to come up with our own ideas.
Grammar: We will be studying proper nouns and subjects/predicates through our Mentor Sentence found within a book we read together, The Name Jar.
