Looking ahead to the week of October 30 (Week A)

Students learned all about time this week!  They kicked off the unit by timing themselves on a Chromebook stopwatch, while doing various activities.  These activities helped them understand the difference between seconds and minutes.

Hi, families!  I hope you all had a wonderful, long weekend!

Career Week:  Check out all of the cool events happening during Career Week!

Monday, Oct. 30th -  Hats off to College & Career Week Wear your favorite hat.

Tuesday, Oct. 31st - Dress for Success  Please be creative with any CAREER outfit/costume. If the career does not have a specific uniform, then you can bring in a prop.  (Do NOT bring any toy weapons!!!!)

Thursday, Nov. 2nd - Career Day Speakers will visit the school to talk to the students about different careers.

Looking ahead to next week:  As historians, students will wrap up their study on Native Americans and Explorers.  They will kick off a unit of study on the Colonial Period. As mathematicians, they will learn about multiplication factors.  We will be using the Envision curriculum for this unit, so please see the family letter below. In reading, students will take a look at author's purpose (to entertain, inform, or persuade).  As writers, they will learn about the parts of a friendly letter and create letters for Veterans, which will be distributed at our Veterans Day assembly in November.  They will also learn about conjunctions and create compound sentences using conjunctions appropriately.  

Thank you again for all of your support!  Have a great weekend!
