November 30th, Ancient Greece Wax Museum Day!
Our annual Ancient Greece Wax Museum was wonderful! The kids did an amazing job preparing for their parts. The costumes were so awesome and they knew their information so well! We had a great time showing what we learned about the Greek gods and goddesses. Here are a few photos of some of our kids. Thank you to our families who helped make this a great experience!

Conferences will be held on Thursday and Friday, which will both be half days for the children. Early release time is 12:20.

This week we will begin our insect unit. The Core Knowledge big idea is that insects, like other animals, have specific identifying features. Some insects are considered either feneficial or detrimental from a human perspective. We will begin our math topic on graphs and probability.
We hope you all have a great week!

We can't believe it is October! Time is flying by! This week, we will be continuing to study about cycles. We have learned all about the seasonal cycles and how the sun and the position of the earth on its axis effect the seasons. We have also learned that the seasons are opposite from each other in the northern and southern hemispheres. We will be learning about the water cycle, various life cycles, and about cloud types (cirrus, stratus, and cumulus).
Our spelling words this week are:

Week of August 29th
We hope everyone had a restful weekend and you were able to keep cool. We are looking forward to the start of our "fall" weather sometime in the future! :)
This week's skills are the following:
Math: Continuing to work on place value and concepts relating to place value, extending number patterns using a 100 number chart, identifying odd and even numbers. Our first assessment will be on Friday. Talk with your children and make up some games comparing numbers to each other. Ask them which number is greater than/less than and then use the symbols <, >, and = to compare them. It'll be fun :)
Reading: Our literature story for the week is The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash. We will be working with vocabulary, and comprehension and reading some non-fiction text about snakes!
Social Studies: We will be learing about maps and will make and use a compass rose. We will also be developing the understanding that maps have keys/legends with symbols and how to use them. At the end of the week, we will be identifying and locating the 7 continents and 5 oceans.
Here are some photos of our kids learning all about the globe and its features. They did a great job!
If you have any cardboard soda "flats" at home, (the ones that the 4-packs of canned sodas come in at Costco or the like) please send them in. We will recycle them for you! We have a fun upcoming activity that we use them for.
Have a great week!
