News & Notes:

  • Box Tops for Education - As a fundraiser, our PTA collects box tops from food/household products.  Our first class incentive will be doughnuts and juice for the class who has collected the most Box Tops from 9/4/18-1/7/19. The second class incentive will be an ice cream sundae bar for the class who has collected the most Box Tops from 1/8/19-5/31/19. Last but not least the teacher whose class has collected the most Box Tops throughout the 18-19 school year will win a gift card to use on activities, books or games for his/her classroom.  So, send in those Box Tops!

  • Math - We start our year working on place value.  We will begin to work on estimation next week.
  • Social Studies - We are studying the history of the US Constitution and how our government is organized.
  • Science - We are asking questions and will begin to conduct investigations relating the speed of an object to the energy of an object. 
  • Cooking - We will be making quesadillas on Thursday.

Wish List:

Weekly Highlight:

  • Our Very Merry Unbirthday Party was a big hit last week - as well as cooking our first two recipes!

Ask Me:

  • We are the three natural rights that Founders believe government should protect? (Answer: Life, Liberty and Property).
