Giving Tree
We are excited to announce that our Giving Tree is up and located in the front office at Parkside Elementary.
The focus of this year’s Giving Tree will be school supplies.
These supplies will help students feel confident and prepared to be productive learners.
Please stop by to choose an angel from our tree.
Your generosity will have a positive impact on students across our school and community.
Our students and staff appreciate you so much!
Thank you for helping to make Parkside the Great School it is!
You can drop any supplies in the boxes under the tree, they do not need to be wrapped. Thank you so much for your support of our Parkside students and teachers!
Math
This week in math we have been studying volume. We are working to recognize and understand the concepts of volume measurement. We will do this through counting unit cubes as well as learning the the formula (l x w x h) of volume. If you have questions on Volume you can visit :
Intro to volume (video) | Khan Academy Sal introduces volume and compares it to length and area. He also introduces cube units.
Science
Literacy/Reading
In literacy this week we spent some time learning about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. We worked in groups to analyze a few of the amendments to the Constitution and discussed whether we thought that these amendments are still relevant to Americans today. Ask your child what they think! We will end the week with a blast from the past...the America Rocks videos.
