Dear
Parents,
What a smooth transition back to
school! I hope the return to school was
as stress-free or at least limitedly so at your house. We came back and shared stories but quickly
jumped into a mix of both new and old content material. As example, students are now learning to
round numbers to the tens, hundreds, and thousands places while continuing with
our studies of Ancient Greece and Animals.
We also did research on the Greek gods and animal classifications. Soon, our room will be decorated with mobiles
for each of the vertebrates: fish,
reptile, amphibian, mammal, and bird.
December will certainly be a busy month
with the close out (hopefully) of units in three of the major content
areas: math, science, and social
studies. Please remind your child to
keep up with assignments and review all study guides and portfolio information
a few nights before test dates. I
certainly don’t expect students to study for hours in preparation for a
test. But, some review of the material (no
more than an hour) over a two or three night period is reasonable. Thank you for your efforts in this regard.
I know that the basketball season is
quickly approaching. If any of your
children are playing on a team please send me their schedule, as they become
available. I enjoy going to the games on
Friday evenings and Saturday mornings.
Here are some important dates to
remember for this month:
Fri. Dec. 21- Brass Rubbings (9 – noon)
Mon. Dec.24-Tues. January 2, 2013- Holiday Break-
No School
Wed. Jan. 3, 2013- School Reopens
Have a happy and healthy weekend!
Sincerely,
Ms. Coffman
