THANKS
Thank you all so much for coming in to see your children present their bag of "me goodies". I know that each of them was so excited to see you here at school. The kids did a wonderful job, and I look forward to them being comfortable speaking in front of others. We will have many opportunites to do so in our everyday classroom experiences this year.
ACADEMIC UPDATE
- READING: We began doing some comprehension practice this week, where kids learned the importance of reading a text again and again. They quickly learned that they would need to refer back to a text on many occasions to answer detailed quetions about what they had read.
- WRITING: Heroes worked together to create our first bi-weekly parent letter. We hope that you all have had a chance to read and respond to your child's letter in his/her parent journal. It is always so meaningful for them to be able to receive a special note from Mom or Dad.
- MATH: We focused on place value up to the 100s place and will soon be concentrating on adding 2-digit numbers.
- SCIENCE: Our class adopted a tree on the Sope Creek playground. We made bark rubbings, collected leaves, and drew pictures of our adopted tree. We made scientific observations about the state of our tree during the summer season. We will make comparisions throughout the year to see how our tree changes during the different seasons.
BOOSTERTHON
The Heroes have done an amazing job of collecting pledges for the upcoming Boosterthon Fun Run. We can't wait to count the laps and have fun with our friends, all while benefiting our wonderful school. Thanks so much to all of the parents that have helped out with this endeavor and to those who have made personal donations to benefit the school. Your time and money are certainly appreciated!!!
