Professional Development
There will be no school for students this Friday, September 19, due to the scheduling of teacher professional development. Also, next Friday, September 26, is an early release to provide a records day for teachers in the afternoon.
PTO Meeting
The next PTO meeting will be Tuesday, October 7, at 6:15 in the Learning Commons (library). PTO meets the first Tuesday of the month.
Europe
In fifth grade we have added our famous Country Report to our agenda. We are learning the countries and geography of Europe. Students are reading a variety of books; check with your child to see what book that is :-)
Revolution
Fourth grade is starting today to read Johnny Tremain and study the geography of the United States. This study includes mastering the location of all states and knowing their capitals.
Time Management and Organization
We have been experiencing a few time management and organization challenges. I have specific practices in the classroom that, while some may fine ridiculous and trivial, I have found to be significantly helpful in training the mind. In addition, knowing where your necessary items can be located cuts waaaayyyy down on stress, frustration, and work completion issues. We will discuss details further at conferences.
Class Wiki
Remember, if you are helping your child with work at home and need direction as to where to go or what to do, check the class wiki for possible assistance.
