Farm to School
This is also the day of our Homecoming Mini Parade (you are all invited to attend!). We are asking that students wear their best Northland Pines Eagle gear or dress in all red, white, and blue that day. If you'd like to send "play" clothes and "play" shoes (or rain boots) to change after the parade - please do! We will be digging in the garden and may get dirty!
Our Virtue for the next two weeks is ENTHUSIASM!
Here are some questions to discuss with your child:
- How do people with and without enthusiasm look, sound, act? (Their faces, their movements, their voices, etc.)
- What activity do you do with enthusiasm?
- What are you enthusiastic about for the future?
- What kinds of work or careers require enthusiasm?
- What difference can enthusiasm make if you have a boring job?
Thanks for your support!

ELA (English Language Arts) - Wonders
This week our class will be focusing on how people from different cultures contribute to a community. We will be discussing how we can learn from people from another culture.
Here are some activities that you can do with your child to help reinforce the skills we’ll be practicing.
Word Workout
- Words to Know: compound words Discuss the meanings of the vocabulary words with your child, and then take turns using each word in a sentence.
- Spelling/Phonics: final e Help your child review long vowel sounds by reading each word aloud. Your child will hold up the appropriate vowel card—a, i, o, or u—and then spell the word.
Comprehension: sequence
You will read a passage about how to start a small library in the classroom. You and your child will figure out the sequence of the steps given in the passage. Your child will look at the chart and write a sentence that describes each step based on their order in the passage.
