Newsletter, January 5th - 8th

This Week…
We will continue working on contractions and subtraction strategies.  We are starting a unit in Language Arts focusing on Ancient Greece.  We will be studying important people in history and their traits in STEAM.

We will be practicing for our District Writing Assessment this week.  We will be taking the assessment sometime next week.

We have had a lot of cases of stomach flu going around our school.  Please make sure that if your child has symptoms that they stay home from school.  It is important that they are fever and vomit free for 24 hours before you send them back to school.  

Your child should be bringing work and important flyers home every day in their folder.  Please make sure that your child is showing you their folder every night so that you know what they are working on and you receive important school info.
We are starting new STEAM stations this week.  If anyone has small or large, aluminum coffee cans with lids, we would love to have them.  

We also need rock salt and granulated sugar.  Please send the items in if you are able to donate.
Important Dates…
  • Monday, January 18th - NO SCHOOL, Martin Luther King Jr. Day
  • Friday, January 15th - MCA 2nd cup of coffee (8:30 AM)
