This week in math, we continued our new unit on geometry and fractions . We have been learning about 2D shapes and their attributes, shapes within shapes and regular/irregular shapes. We will soon begin studying 3D shapes and look for shapes outside of school in the real world. 

In reading we are continuing with Module 6. We have been practicing CVE words, soft c /s/ and will work with the soft g /j/sound next week. When reading with your child, ask them to find examples of these and retell what they have read to help them practice comprehension. We are also focusing on fluency this semester. Students recently did a quick fluency assessment with Mrs. Vossen and Dr. Griffin to check for words per minute. We are hoping that everyone can increase fluency without sacrificing accuracy and comprehension. When they read, they should have the fluency and prosody of a social conversation. Reading the same material multiple times is a great way to practice these skills.

We are talking about weather patterns in science, which is a perfect topic given our interesting weather as of late.

YEARBOOK ORDERS ARE OPEN!

Request for LEGO Donations for LEGO Club

We are looking to enhance our LEGO Club by incorporating LEGO bricks into our lessons and activities for kindergarten through second grade.

We would greatly appreciate it if you would consider donating any unused or unwanted LEGO sets or pieces that you may have at home. These donations will be used primarily for STEM challenges. No contribution is too small, and any LEGO pieces—whether large or small, complete or partial—would be incredibly helpful.

If you have any LEGO pieces you’re willing to part with, please send them in with your child or feel free to drop them off in the foyer with Lego Club or Mrs. Griffard labeled on them. If you have any questions or would like more details, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you so much for your support and generosity. We’re excited to see the creativity and learning that will come from this project!
