Curriculum Updates
Weekly Math Update
We have been reviewing our addition and subtraction facts to twenty with a specific focus on how we can use these strategies to help us solve problems with numbers greater than 20. Students have been using a variety of manipulatives to help them solve equations and word problems.
Weekly Social Studies Update
We began looking at the communities we are a part of to kick off our first Social Studies unit. We will begin to dig deeper into the rights and responsibilities we have in specific communities.
Weekly Reading and Writing Update
Students are growing their reading stamina and learning about new strategies. We will continue work around picking just right books and strong reading habits.
In Writing we have been exploring where we can find ideas for ‘personal narratives’ and we are beginning to practice moving through the writing process.
PTA REQUEST - PARENT DIRECTORY A Message from the PTA
During Back to School Night the PTA is kindly requesting that you mention the following Parent Directory information to parents: The key information to convey: -The PTA Directory will be published this Fall. - It contains contact information for faculty, staff, school organizations, and students. - In an effort to “go green”, it will be available in Powerschool as a pdf file, and a limited number of hard copies will be printed. - Parents should go into Powerschool, click on the PTA Directory button, and verify the information is accurate and has a check in the box so it will appear in the directory. Information without a check in the box will not appear. - They must press the “submit” button for changes to be saved. - They need to do this for each student in their family. - The deadline to make changes will be the end of September.
