Happy New Year! We have so much to be thankful for and so much to look forward to. Just to clarify the date of April 18th on the last note was incorrect. It is still January 18th. Sorry about that, I’m not sure what happened there, but just want to make sure that everyone has the correct date! The only real change is that we will be returning around 3 instead of 4 so the kids can ride the bus home if you need them to.
We are working very hard at school trying to finish up many different units.
Social Studies: We continue to learn about Michigan and it’s government. I have talked to Pete McGregor’s office and we will be meeting him when we visit Lansing on the 18th.
Science: We are finishing up our Earth and Me unit. The kids are loving learning about rocks, earth materials, and erosion.
Math: We are in the middle of unit 5 and reviewing place value. The kids are taking multiplication timed tests daily and doing a great job. Flashcards can be a quick fun way to practice at home. If you don’t have any, let me know and I can send home note cards with your child and they can make them.
Language Arts: This week we discussed New Year’s resolutions and wrote about some goals for the year. We tried to just limit ourselves to around 3. We also are reading the book “Traders in Time”. This is a wonderful book about two boys that go back in time and see how the fur traders and Native Americans lived 300 years ago here in Michigan. Very cool and also has exciting adventures that the children love to hear about!
Upcoming dates:
January
18th: Lansing field trip-Bring a sack lunch and be at school at 7:30 a.m.
21st: ½ day with noon dismissal
I have attached the Lansing note again (corrected) if you need it. Have a wonderful weekend!
