Weekly Update

Hi Everyone!

I hope your week was amazing! We had a great week! This week we enjoyed a fun science lesson on gourds with Mrs. Kaz and we will use these same gourds for an exciting writing lesson on Wednesday! 

Next week is shaping up to be pretty exciting too! ON Tuesday, we will have someone from the Green Kids Foundation come and model a watershed for us! I will try and send some pictures!

Room Mom:

I wanted to take a moment to thank and introduce Brittany Jones, (Elizabeth’s mom). She has kindly offered to take on the role as our room mom! She has already stepped up and started working on some things for us! She recently created a class directory for us. If you want to be included, please click THIS LINK and type in your information. This is optional, but will help families connect for playdates and birthday parties! If you are interested in helping Brittany plan the class parties and other activities, please reach out to her. Her email is bcv725@gmail.com

Addition and Subtraction:

Please make sure the students are working on their addition and subtraction study guide. This went home a couple of weeks ago and is due Friday, October 27th. 

Monday:

I will be out on Monday, October 23rd. I know the students will do a great job in my absence. I will be in by the end of the day to meet with those of you who I have meetings with.

 Focus Areas for the Coming Week:

• Writing:  We will begin writing some free writes in our journal and learn about descriptive writing. We will describe a gourd in writing and see if our classmates can draw it without looking just by hearing our description. 

•  Math:  We will estimate sums of large numbers and learn about the different addition properties. The study guide already went home. Test date will come soon. Study guide questions are due Friday, October 27th. 

• Science: We will be talking about Virginia’s natural resources and the watershed. We have a speaker coming in to demonstrate a watershed.

My husband and sons are away at a baseball tournament this weekend, so naturally Isabelle has a full schedule! This weekend is Lightridge’s Homecoming and Isabelle is running for homecoming court. So needless to say, I will be juggling her to the game, parade and the dance on Saturday. It should be another fun but busy weekend. One day I hope our children realize how much we do for them! I am sure you can all relate! Enjoy this season of life as it will pass quickly!
