Dear Parents, 

I would like to say thank you for an amazing year so far. We’ve spent an amazing time together full of learning. As we’re heading toward the last week of 2019 together in this school year. I would like to end it with a little in class party on Friday, December 20, 2019. We will be having our PBIS and end of the year 2019 celebration. We will be having a pizza party, snack and movie.

I will buy pizza for the whole class.  We will need some extra snacks if you would like to donate to our class that will be amazing. I created  a sign up sheet for you to see what we are missing. 

If you would like to donate any of the list please make sure to sign up before Thursday, December 19, 2019 so that I can bring any missing items. 

Please send the items with your child on Friday morning.

Thank you.

Hello Families! This week starts the Scholastic Book Fair. We will be previewing the books on Monday and buying on Tuesday. Thursday is the annual roller skating party at the Lincoln Park Roller Rink from 6-8 pm. There is also a PTA meeting on Friday at 9 a.m. to discuss helping your child with reading at home. With the new Read By Third Grade law in effect this year, it is a very important meeting to attend if you can. The class with the most parents in attendance will win a pizza party. There will be an open house following the meeting where you can walk through the school and get an understanding of what goes on in the classrooms on a day to day basis. Here is our focus for the week:

Math: We will be working on adding and subtracting measurements this week.

Science: We will work on graphing and analyzing weather data. It would be helpful if you had your child watch the weather report each night.

Social Studies: We will be discussing the rights and responsibilities all citizens have. A study guide will come home later in the week. The test on government will be next week.

Reading: We will learn how to determine the author’s point of view and compare it to our own by giving details from the text to support our thinking.

Writing: We are ready to draft our opinion writing and will be spending the week preparing to publish.
