TODAY's Learning


What have we learned today?

We learned about pictographs and filled in our graphs on the weather today. Grade 1’s played a memory game in math counting to 10. Grade 2’s learned about bar graphs and answered questions. We learned how to write the letter Z. We read Scaredy Squirrel and learned about acorns.

Any AHA! Moments?

Acorns create other trees.


What do you want to share with your parents?

In music, we learned a new song about leaves. Today was a fun day. Image result for scaredy squirrel at the beach

See you tonight!

Hello Families,

Tonight is our Celebration of Learning! Students and teachers are excited to share their work and learning with you. Classrooms will be open from 6:15 to 7: 45 pm. Families are encourage to visit their child's classroom any time during the allotted time frame. Please allow for at least 30 minutes to spend looking at your child's work and projects. Don't forget to check out all the bulletin board's outside of the classrooms too. 

We are also encouraging families to visit the lost and found for missing items. It is also a great time to check to see if your child's indoor shoes still fit. Don't forget to check out the Scholastic book fair in room 10. All proceed go directly to our school library.  

We look forward to celebrating with you tonight!

Crazy Hair Day and our talk about TOYS

Crazy Hair is TOMORROW!
You can make your hair as crazy as you like.
You can wear a wig or a headband or anything you like!
As long as you can still read and write and participate in class!
We would love to see your crazy side tomorrow!

And about toys...
We have had a lot toys being brought to school in backpacks.
They are a distraction and we do not want them to get broken or lost.
PLEASE do not bring TOYS to school.  This does include stuffies.
If your child needs something in their backpack for after school, please remind them to keep it out of sight and in their backpack while at school.
Parents, please go through your child's backpack as a few may have appeared in there!

Art coming home - perspective

Students have been learning how objects are perceived as small far away and larger close up in our study of PERSPECTIVE.  We have complete our work with our autumn sketch and you should see it coming home.  Please sign and return it to school as we want to put it in our creative journals.

Ask us:

Where is the horizon line?  (What is horizontal?)
What season is it?  (How do I know it's autumn in your picture?)
How did you make the road look realistic (or in perspective)
Why did you name your art _______________ ?




Try this Math Game!

Book Fair Times

Room 13 will be visiting the Book Fair Tuesday and Thursday this week at 1:10 - 1:25.
If students are going to be purchasing items, please review with them the expectation is that the money they bring from home is to go towards their own purchase.  Students should not be loaning or sharing money.

The book fair will be open during our Celebration of Learning on Thursday as well.
