The Jungle Book
Mrs. Knueven's Classroom Newsletter
Welcome Back!
I hope all of you had a fun and relaxing fall break! We enjoyed a getaway to Cuyahoga Falls National Park in Ohio to ride the "big choo-choo" with Adam (who loves all types of vehicles) and do some hiking as a family. I know I met many of you on open house night and look forward to spending the rest of the school year with your kids! This is the first of your weekly e-mails from me. You will typically get your newsletter sometime between Friday and Sunday night. With two little ones at home (Adam - age 3 and Anna - 5 months), sometimes things come up and I have to send it on Monday, but that doesn't happen very often. Transitions are easier for some kids than others. If you have any questions or concerns over the next few weeks about how your child is doing at school, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. My husband is a teacher at ZWMS and had already claimed the "aknueven" e-mail address when we got married, so please send any e-mails for me to amyknueven@zcs.k12.in.us.

Curriculum Corner
Typically, this is where I outline what we will be focusing on for each subject during the week. This week will be lighter academically as I get to know the kids and see what they have been working on first quarter. We have been told that we will be taking all portions of ISTEP+ online this year, which will be new for all of us! We will spend some time this week working on digital citizenship skills and get some computer activities up and running to make sure all of the kids are comfortable with the computers before that time comes.
