Heart Activity.

We are taking some time to revisit kindness and following school and classroom rules.  Students understand the importance of using kind words and actions but aren't always remembering to do so in the heat of the moment. Ask your child about the heart activity we did today. It's important to remember we all matter and we need to consider each other's feelings.

Students were asked to hang their wrinkled heart in their locker. Hopefully it will be a reminder for students to remember what their words and actions can do to others.

It's TIME for math.

Students just finished a unit on time and graphing.  Students also reviewed word problems with multiple steps. You will notice the test coming home later this week. We will continue to work on these skills until break. Students will have the opportunity to apply and extend their learning and play games focusing on these concepts as well. Encourage your child to tell time at home and use the clock (both digital and analog).

Below are some links to some games that students will begin using in Computer Lab this week:

Author Visit.

Katie Mcky visited our school today! She is a children's author along with many other things. Before being an author, she taught special education students for 20 years. Below are some of the books she's written.  We read Wolf Camp earlier this year.

The students enjoyed two assemblies.  She had volunteers (teachers and students) act out two of her books.  Ask your child about it.  It was very comical! The whole gym was laughing! She is a great entertainer.  Thanks to PTO for organizing her visit.

First day back!

It was lovely being with the kids today.  Ms. Gundlach and I worked together today! It was fun and I am looking forward to being back for a full week next week.  I was so impressed how far they've come - they demonstrated awesome work ethic today! Keep it up.  I am proud to be your teacher! :)

Beautiful Concert.

Thanks to all the parents for coming out and showing your support to the class! They have been working very hard this past month.  They did a wonderful job!  If you or another family member or friend missed it, you can view it here!
