Week of November 16-20

Hello Parents,

Report cards are being sent home today. We are very pleased with the progress that the students are making!  The first quarter is often a period of adjustment in any school year, and this first quarter required a period of adjustment for educators and students alike, both throughout the school community and beyond.  Your children have done a fantastic job acclimating to our new cohort schedule and health precautions and we are very proud of them! 

Please sign and return the report card envelope.  You may keep your copy of the report card.  Please feel free to let us know if you have any questions.

Math-2nd Grade
  • The second graders are finishing up their unit on telling time.
  • They will be moving on to learning and memorizing the basic addition and subtraction facts where the answer is between 10 and 18.  
  • It will be really important that the students practice their addition and subtraction facts at home regularly.
  • Please return the mini clock to school. For the weeks ahead, we will send home your child's math flashcards for use at home during this chapter.  Watch for your child's math homework for which days to use flashcards.  While the students need to practice flashcards for homework on those days, they are certainly welcome to practice beyond just those days. 
Math-All Grades
Math books will be sent home this weekend.  Please look them over, sign the yellow slip and be sure that the books get returned to school.   

Reading - Grades 3 & 4
Thank you for taking the time to listen to your child read his/her paper leveled reading books regularly.  Please continue sending the books back to school once finished so your child may choose a new story.

Science
The students are concluding their unit on flight. Their test will be on Tuesday. The students are well prepared and we are confident that they will do well on this test. For additional support, the students brought home a study guide on Thursday.
