Beach Day Change
I want to be sure everyone has seen the announcement that Beach Day will be on Monday, March 30th NOT Friday, March 20th. We have checked with the chef, and the menu options for those two dates will flip flop. So, to be super clear...
This Friday, March 20th, will be a regular school day and we will have pesto pasta for lunch.
Monday, March 30th will be Beach Day and we will have turkey and cheese wraps for lunch.

1st and 2nd Grade News March 13, 2015
Dear Families,
1st graders are diving
into a unit on measurement and have been learning the importance of using a
standard unit of measure. This week I am asking 1st grade
students to complete some measurement homework.
Students should 1. choose something to measure, 2. measure it in as many
ways as you can: height, width, length, weight, volume, temperature, time, 3.
Record their results, and 4. include at least one comparison: “it is taller
than….” or “heavier than…”
2nd graders have begun
learning about fractions. They will
learn 1/2, 1/4, and 1/3 and how equal shares can have different shapes. Students will learn many new math words
during this unit including, half, halves, third, thirds, fourth, fourths,
quarters, whole, numerator, and denominator.
In Reading Workshop first graders
are comparing non-fiction and fiction stories and are doing word work with
initial and final digraphs and blends.
In second grade students are meeting in non-fiction clubs to discuss
selected topics together and ask better questions and are working on
contractions. All first and second
graders have started researching their ECO animals and are planning their
books.
Mrs. Raynor’s class has picked to
have a Pajama Day as their next celebration for filling their classroom
treasure chest with coins! Pajama Day
will happen for Mrs. Raynor’s class on Tuesday, March 17, 2015. For that day, students can wear their pajamas
to school, they are asked to make sure their choice of pajamas is appropriate for school and warm. Students are asked to wear regular soled
shoes not soft slippers that day in case of a fire drill or other emergency
that might happen.
It’s hard to believe but Parent
Teacher Conferences are just around the corner!
We have set aside Thursday, April 2 and half of the day Friday, April 3,
2015 to meet with 1st and 2nd grade families. We
will be sending green conference forms home today in folders that will have
a time slot we have selected for you. We
know that some of these times just will not work, but encourage you to be as flexible
as you can be and remember that we are trying to schedule 31 families into these
two days and will be working very hard those days to make the scheduling magic
happen. Please return these green conference
forms to school as soon as possible so we can finalize the schedule for those
two days.
PLEASE HELP YOUR CHILD REMEMBER
TO RETURN THEIR BOOK BAGS.
Things to Remember:
*Mrs. Raynor’s Class PJ Day
Celebration – Tuesday, 3/17 *ECO Dates –
3/17 (Ms. Levangie’s class)
*Beach Day – Monday, 3/30 *Parent Teacher Conferences – Thursday,
4/2 and Friday, 4/3
Sincerely,
Randilee and Lisa
