Success in Savanna, 10/18/13




Dear Parents,
           
            Despite the shortened week, we accomplished many things in the classroom this week.  In content areas, we closed two early-year units in math and social studies.  We are also nearing the close on our first science unit.  We have moved onto a new reading strategy – asking questions – and also finished our first grammar pack and review of mechanical components.  In writing, we have used poetry (including the works of Langston Hughes) to guide our own pieces.  Finally, we concluded the week with our first meeting with our Reading Buddies from Ms. Morgan’s room.  In brief, what a busy and successful week!
           
            If the weather permits, I hope to be seeing some of my students on the field this weekend.  For those that have not yet submitted schedules, please do so soon.  I also will be visiting events in the winter or next spring.  Again, if your child is participating in any sort of event that permits spectators, please let me know.  This is truly something that I enjoy doing provided that I’m in town to do so.
           
            A calendar of upcoming events follows below.  Please note that our Outdoor Lab field trip is set for Monday, November 4th.  Furthermore, Wednesday, November 6th is a FULL DAY of learning and not an early release day. 
           
            Enjoy the weekend!

                                                                                    Sincerely,

                                                                                    Ms. Coffman
