Success in Savanna, 11/15

Dear Parents,
         
          Despite the shortened weekend, we pushed through to meet many goals in our learning process.  We are nearly complete with our rounding lessons in math and finished the week with a challenging activity on planning a meal for a party of four.  In social studies, we are knee deep in the culture of Ancient Greece and learned more about their lives and beliefs.  In Science, we are starting the life cycle of animals and will be doing an in class project next week on the various types of animals.  In reading and writing, we’ve been inspired by our lessons on making text to self connections.  Furthermore, we’ve spent some time in the classroom working through Typing Club lessons.  Please know that I’ve been tasked to monitor the students’ at home practice.  If your child has not been participating in practice at home, I encourage him or her to do so starting this weekend.   A duplicate copy of Typing Club note is included in this week’s folder.

We have had several conversations this week about wearing proper clothing to school as the weather gets colder.  Please know we do go outside everyday and that the children need the proper clothing in order to be comfortable as we do so.  Your help with this matter is greatly appreciated.  Also, if your child is missing any clothing items, water bottles, or lunchboxes, there are several tables of unclaimed items in the front of the building.  Please take a few minutes to see if any of your child’s items may be there. 

Below are a few important dates to put on your calendars.
