Newsletter, September 14 - 18


This week:  This week we will continue our exploration of bees.  Your child will be learning subtraction strategies and learning more about non-fiction text features.  

A letter for GATE testing is coming home today.  If your child is not already GATE identified they will be tested next month for GATE.  The letter coming home is an OPT-OUT letter only.  You should only fill out and return the letter if you DO NOT want them tested.

Your child will have PE everyday except Wednesday.  Please make sure they are wearing appropriate and comfortable clothes and shoes.  Remind them to bring their library books on Friday.

Attention - Donations Needed:


Last week:  We compared bees to other social insects living in colonies, like ants and wasps.  After reading more about ants and bees, we wrote short essays about their similarities and differences.  We had a great day at our STEAM stations on Wednesday.  In Math, we were practicing our addition strategies and using problem solving skills.  


Important Dates:  

  • 100 mile Club is running Thursday and Friday
  • Picture Day is September 25th
