We’ve enjoyed
another wonderful week here at Valley View.
We look forward to finishing our MEAP testing on Tuesday. I am so proud of how hard the children are
working and I can tell they are doing their best! They still have NO HOMEWORK until Monday,
October 21st !!! I appreciate all of the snack donations. Thanks in advance for your generosity! Remember to get plenty of sleep and eat a
good breakfast. I also am very proud of
the many students that are doing the electronic detox. Way to go!
Language Arts:
We continue working hard to improve our writing. We are learning how to start with good leads
to hook the reader. We also are working
on how to write true stories. I look
forward to celebrating some of our writing soon! We have also been reading the book “Because
of Winn Dixie”. A great story about a
girl who finds a dog that helps her make new friends in a new town.
Math: We have finished
unit one and moved into unit two.
Concepts that we have been learning about are frames and arrows,
practicing addition and subtraction, following rules for in and out tables, and
more math games.
Science:
The kids have enjoyed learning about living things. We have looked at plants, flowers, crayfish,
and other animals. We were fortunate
enough to have Mr. Walda visit us last week.
He is a retired science teacher who loves coming in to share his
expertise. He did an awesome lab of
living things in the sea. What an
awesome extension of what we are learning!
