In The Classroom... 3/4/18
Don't forget that 120 day projects are due Monday! We will be sharing these throughout the week and then celebrating our 120 day on Friday, Mar. 9th. We ask that the kids come dressed up as OLD people just to add to the fun! Look below this section for the sign up genius for our 120 Day day snack. Please send in these items by Wednesday the 7th. Thanks =)
In Math we have been learning about 2D shapes otherwise known as plane figures. We will work on composite shapes next week as well as turning our focus onto 3D shapes.
In Science the kids have been exploring volcanic rocks. We will have an experiment with these next week and then turn our focus to river rocks.
We are exploring maps in Social Studies. The kids learned about a route and cardinal directions last week. We will be looking at different maps this week and looking at their symbols and the map key/legend.
Third quarter is always busy. There is lots going on! Please be sure to let me know if you have any questions. Take some time to read the "notes" section for reminders and updates. We are still waiting for field trip forms and money to come in. If you have not turned this in, please do so this week. We will be putting in lunch orders on Friday with the cafeteria. Also, if you would like to chaperone let me know. So far we have 4 parents helping with this. We would love to have more. Don't forget though that you do have to have the Volunteer form through Wake County completed and be a level 4 Green Star chaperone in order to attend. This has to be completed every year so if you did not do one for first grade, you must or you will not be able to chaperone. These can take up to 2 weeks to receive clearance. The sooner you compete it the better.
Have a great Sunday!
