Discovery Day 6/4
Discovery Day is a fun day when our students sign up for classes of interest and guide their own instruction! You can help by sharing any interest or talent you may have: drawing, painting, football, kickball, yard games, pilates, bracelet making, science experiments, STEM activities, etc.
Please email me if you are interested!
Literacy
In Writer's Workshop we are working independently when choosing a topic, creating a picture, and writing a story. Students can choose any topic (narrative, informational, or opinion). This week we spent time reviewing and making a list of topics we could write about. Help your child brainstorm some ideas at home as well!
By now in Writer's Workshop our goal is to write 3 sentences, include a capital letter at the beginning, and punctuation at the end.

Birthdays
At Crestview Elementary School we take time during morning announcements to highlight students who are celebrating their birthdays. This includes announcing their names and grade levels over the school wide intercom system. If for any reason you do not want your child’s name and birthday announced, please reach out to Janet Ellis, Office Coordinator, in our front office and she will make note of the request.
A reminder that due to life threatening allergies students should not be bringing birthday treats to school this year.
