Dear Parents,
Ah, the smell chlorine in the morning!!! The children have been so excited to be swimming in the new Yorktown Pool this week. The reports from Mr. Green and Mr. Corkins have been very complimentary and the kids have been proud to report how they are doing. I would also like to add a special thanks to all our parents who have assisted at Yorktown during this process. Please remember that the children will be swimming on both Monday and Tuesday of next week as well, so they will need their suits and towels.
Even with a shortened week, and a compressed schedule we were able to pack in a lot of good learning. We began our study of Rome with some reading and class activities. In science, we are building food chains and learning about the exchange of energy in both chains and webs. In math we continued our study of multiplication and are learning games that reinforce these facts. In Language Arts, we have started our response journals and letter writing. This will start in earnest next week so look for more information coming home soon. In lieu of word study this week, we are learning new words that will be part of our second word master challenge. Overall, lots of good learning took place this week.
Below are a couple of important dates to put on your calendars:
Wednesday January 25-Tuesday January 31- Swimming at Yorktown
Friday January 27- Sock Hop
Wednesday February 8- Report Cards Issued
As always, I appreciate your help and support. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Ms. Coffman
