Week 21 Recap
Posted on Sunday, January 28th, 2018 at 6:18 pmHi Everyone!
Upcoming Week/Reminder
Chili Cook Off:
This coming Wednesday is the annual Chili Cook off! Our students will be making some chili to submit. The cook off starts at 5:30 and goes until 7pm. Kids under 5 are free! It is a fundraiser for the school and there will be gluten free and vegetarian options. If your family would like to submit a pot of chili for the contest the link is: https://wejoinin.com/sheets/WGKPP
Our students will help chop veggies and measure out ingredients while we have the laptops Wednesday afternoon.
Wednesday morning will also be an assembly on Net Safety which is an Internet safety assembly. It will be right away in the morning and go until 9:30.
Lateness: Please make sure students are on time to school. We’ve had a few students coming late often they are missing out on important instruction.
Community Goals: Our students met their first community goal this week. The goal was to achieve moments of quiet as a whole class and achieve 20 points by the end of Thursday. The next goal is Be Kind. We will be talking about noticing moments of true kindness. The students will need 20 points of quiet and 20 moments of true kindness in order to get their next achievement ticket to take home.
Winter/Mid Year Conferences: You may begin to sign up for our mid year conferences! https://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/phhos
Water bottles!- Our school safety committee reviewed every classroom’s emergency bag and it used to be filled with packs of water. It made our bag incredibly heavy and the bagged water no longer was good, so they took all of it out. It is asked that every student has their water bottle at school. If we were asked to go to our North Shore safety spot, the students would have their water bottle which could be filled from either North Shore Pool or the Fire Dept. It also helps our students to not leave class as their need for a drink is right in the classroom. Please make sure your student is coming to class with a refillable water bottle, not a plastic one.
Past Week:
The students focused on Fractions this past week in their leveled lessons. Geography was also studied in the afternoon.
Level 1s: Continent and Ocean review and they learned our Geography game we have on the shelf. They got to the next level which has them learning about landforms- our next big unit we will cover beginning next month in Geography
Level 2s: All about volcanoes- kinds of, parts of, how volcanoes are formed and happen
Level 3s: The water cycle- what it is and how it happens
Wednesday afternoon we had the COW. We have the laptops again this coming week because Ms. Stef will be out of town.
The students who brought in their President Report all got to share. They are terrific! I hung everyones up outside our room for everyone to see.
Have a great upcoming week and rest of your weekend
