FROM YOUR TEACHERS
KINDERGARTEN
This week in Kindergarten we learned how to use google classroom, proper zoom etiquette and getting to know one another. One of our favorite activities was the STEM challenge building a tower of 25 objects and breaking it apart into tens and ones.
We learned about what means to be a student and how we can ask for help!!:)

Third grade Meet the Teacher via Zoom will be next week. Please contact your child’s teacher for more information.
FOURTH
Fourth grade had a great week this week. We have enjoyed getting to “meet” our students this week. We had a very productive Open House on Thursday. If you were unable to attend this, please touch base with your child’s teacher. Please be sure to have read over your Class Handbook and submit the Acknowledgement Forms via Google if you have not already done so. We hope you have a great weekend and look forward to a productive second week of school!
FIFTH
In Ms. Calabrese's class this week we had fun getting to know each other with some games over Zoom. We also talked about procedures, rules, and classroom economy. We also had fun playing Gimkit, figuring out how to make solutions for numbers 1-20 using four 4s, and participating in digital escape room. I look forward to get to know them even more this year!
Fifth Grade Team would like to say THANK YOU to our partners in Innovative learning. Our Parents.
We look forward to an amazing and productive school year!
