Good evening!

Hopefully by now everyone has had a chance to cool down and relax. I know I am headed to bed very soon. The heat is absolutely exhausting!

Just a couple of notes for today:

• We’ve started working on writing a personal narrative (story) about responsibility. This is also our current focus in Social Studies. Students had time today to draw an illustration (picture) of a time when they demonstrated responsibility. We will take time tomorrow to discuss our story ideas before writing.
• Today we took the NWEA math test using the Chromebooks. With that out of the way, we will now begin using our interactive Math notebooks for daily lessons. The first unit deals with counting and cardinality.
• There is still some confusion about lunch in the morning. Please prompt your child so that he/she can tell me without any doubt whether they brought a lunch from home or need 1st/2nd choice.
• Blue Nicky folders need to be sent to school everyday. Please be sure to initial the Leaders in Learning charts at the end of the week.
• Water bottles should be sent to school tomorrow and Wednesday as high temps will be in the 90s and our classroom is like an oven! Today we took frequent breaks to walk to the drinking fountains. It would be much easier/quicker to send a bottle or two or three from home. Thank you!
