Week 8: Two Excursions!

We had a fun start today! Many of you came to decorate Writers Notebooks with us and the results are beautiful. The children have proudly shared their new and improved books. There were some sweet stories told from the pictures and some children are already inspired to write! Our thanks goes to every parent who came and provided crucial assistance with this project!

Here's what is coming next week:

• We have completed our first math unit and will start Module 2: Place Value and Problem Solving with Units of Measure next week. This module will focus on using measurement to learn place value as well as sharpening our math story problems skills. Students will focus on metric measurement to help review base ten concepts as well as practice addition, subtraction and rounding. Here are some links to help preview the upcoming lessons:

• The Module 1 test will be returned to your child mid week to bring home. Please keep an eye out for it. 
• We are headed to the Armory on Tuesday. Please make sure your child is wearing sneakers.
• We are also heading to the Nethermead at Prospect Park. Please remember to dress your child appropriately for the weather. Students should wear sneakers, sunscreen, bug spray and rain gear if it is rainy. 

Chaperones were selected for the Prospect Park excursions and a note was sent home to families who volunteered. Please note there is a typo on the notice. It says to meet at Officer White's desk on Wednesday. It should say to meet at Officer White's desk on Friday at 9:05 so we can walk over by 9:30 am. 

Thank you all for the wonderful week! Have a fun Boo Bash weekend!
