Remembering
Today I was blown away by the community support and was extremely proud to be from and teach in Rockford, Michigan. Our entire school walked down to Pederson Funeral home and paid our respects to the family of Zachary Shanafelt. I was impressed with how well all of the students behaved and followed directions. What a touching and meaningful day!
Holiday Music Program
Wow, what an amazing Holiday program! Mrs. Good helped our students prepare and get ready for a fantastic musical performance. I love seeing the kids shine on stage and as you can see in the pictures they also love hamming it up backstage as well. Great job everyone!

Report Cards and Conferences
This month we have many fun and exciting things going on. We have report cards, conferences, and Thanksgiving! Thank you for returning conference confirmation slips. Please let me know if you didn’t receive a slip. If your time will not work please feel free to contact me and we will change it. I look forward to seeing all of you!
Language Arts: The children are enjoying the anthology “Chicken Little”. We also have been learning different strategies for writing during our writing workshop. This week we learned about writing using our senses to create more detail and paint a picture in the readers mind.
Math: We are now in unit 4. The children are doing a tremendous amount of solving number stories, beginning division, multiplication, and exploring on the Everyday Math website.
Science: We finished up our science unit with our plant projects. What an amazing, talented and creative group of students! I love all of the unique ideas
Social Studies: We have started learning about Michigan starting with the symbols and discussing the Ottawa, Chippewa, and Potawatomi Native American tribes. We have also been discussing map skills.
Computer Lab: We enjoyed making our top ten lists of to tell about ourselves just like in “Because of Winn-Dixie”. You can see them on the bulletin board in our room.
