October 20-27

Happy Red Ribbon Week! We are celebrating 60 years of a healthy and safe school! Although national Red Ribbon Week is a complete focus on staying drug free, we are broadening the focus to include making healthy choices and staying positive. It is hard to explain to our younger students when the focus is all about staying drug free so we will be incorporating healthy choices and positivity too!

The dress up days are:

Monday - 1950's "Sock it to Drugs" - wear the craziest socks you can find!
Tuesday - 1950's and 1970's "Peace, Love and Positivity" - wear tie dye clothing!
Wednesday - 1980's "Brighten the world around you" - wear neon and bright colors!
Thursday - 1990's and 2000's "Team up for a better tomorrow" - wear your favorite sports jerseys!
Friday - The Future "Fight for a healthy future" - wear camo!

Please remember that our Character Parade is THIS FRIDAY at 8:30am! :) 

Check out what we are studying this week..

Reading- Students will identify beginning, middle and end of a story.

Math- Students will use base ten blocks to subtract through the thousands with and without regrouping. We will also wrap up 3 digit addition with regrouping.

They will also learn that counterweights should be placed low on an object in relation to its balance point. They will write directions about how to balance a shape. They will learn that objects and systems spin on a central axis and you need force to start a top spinning. They will also learn how the amount and position of mass affects how the object rotates.

Social Studies- Students will understand the roles of public officials, name the current President, Governor and Mayor, compare the roles of these leaders, identify ways they are elected and identify how we stay informed in give input in our government.
