We are so proud of their hard work and growth that they have shown in this process, we are for sure that you will too. Our readers have also kept on studying Author’s moves that they can use in their writing. Mathematicians have worked on a variety of strategies to solve multiple problems. Partnering with parents- in this activity parents are invited to join us to be a part of your child's learning in each subject area. Please make sure that you have checked the sign up sheet that has been sent in ANS weekly letter if you are interested in joining. Don't forget we are celebrating Halloween on Oct. 31st from 1:00-2:20. Your child can come to school wearing a costume and room parents are organizing fun activities for each section. Please make sure that your child's costume is school appropriate.
