Primer Information Form
Pets in the classroom- Homework
I am curious to see if the incoming Primer class would like to add to our class pets. I would like for your child, with the help of you, to fill out the survey to see if they are interested in getting another pet for our classroom.
First, watch the video to learn about Pets in the classroom.
Then, click on the link to have your child vote, please help them with the survey.
If you want to know more about how to care for the pets use the care guide.
Let me know if you have any questions. All responses are due by August 10. Thank you.
Twist on reading
The 8 Best Neighborhood Games
Common Sense Media
Once you go to the website, just click on the review tab and the category you would like. You will be given information about the educational value, positive message, language and violence with different media sources. This site is helpful for students of all ages. Certainly a site worth bookmarking.
Coming soon
Skype visits
Skype in the classroom visits will be back in Primer. We are looking forward to Skyping with the author Max Lowell and the restaurant, Fortina in New York during September.
Pen Pals
Our first responses will come during September when the students describe their school life and themselves. We will collaborate with our Spanish teacher, Carolina Cadena on this project. What a great way to learn writing, reading and Spanish!
