Week 3

Can you believe our first break is already here?! I hope the students have enjoyed the first couple weeks of school, the fun is only beginning!

This week in math we studied pictographs, bar graphs and line graphs. We read two neat stories called "The Song and Dance Man" and "Through Grandpa's Eyes" that really opened our eyes to what life was like when our grandparents were young. The kids couldn't believe that once upon a time TV, the internet and video games didn't even exist. We had some great discussions about stories that are worth telling over and over again. Another story we read talked about floats so we made rootbeer floats in class -- the kids loved it! We also had school pictures and a neat Israeli dance assembly where the kids were able to get up and perform with the dancers. It was a fun week.

If your child is doing the REDO chart for Soaring Eagle please remind them that the first due date for reading 5 books is September 3. I hope everyone gets a chance to relax and read over our break!

FYI -- I got an email from PTA saying the Fun Run for C track is Friday September 16 from 8:30-10:30 am. Mark your calendars!

Just a heads up, we'll be starting current events when we come back on track and will be presenting them every Friday for the rest of the year. I'll send home a paper with more information.

I hope everyone enjoys their last bit of summer! Thanks for a great first 3 weeks!
