Happy 2020!
I hope you all enjoyed a restful break with your families. I have enjoyed hearing about all of the fun things you did during the time off. We are easing our way back into the school routine this week. I'm sure your family is feeling like mine in regards to getting back into an earlier bedtime and school day routine... we can do this! Lucky for us, we have swimming to look forward to on Thursday. We are all set on a chaperone for the female locker room. If you know of someone who would be available to help in the male locker room, please let me know! You can access the sign up HERE. It is helpful to send an extra snack on swim day. Students use more energy than usual and are HUNGRY when finished. We will swim from 2:15-3:15. Parent volunteers, please meet us outside of the locker rooms at 2 pm. Thank you!
Look for review material for Chapter 10 math to come home this week. We will be taking the unit assessment for this brief unit on Thursday.
We are launching a new reading unit on the American Revolution this week. We will be reading history and learning about events that shaped our country.
In science we are researching animals that are native to Michigan to use in the legends they'll be writing in social studies. We will share these legends on our field trip to Mackinac Island in June!
Upcoming Dates:
January 20- There will be no school for students in observance of Dr. King's birthday.
January 31- Family Movie Night at 7 pm
February 17&18- Mid Winter Break
Have a wonderful week!
