The Week of November 15th
Room 21 Newsletter
Our students in Room 21 have been working diligently on their research projects. They have many creative ideas and we are looking forward to seeing the end results when they present them to rest of the class!
2nd and 3rd grade students should be using the Compass Learning website at home if they have access to the internet. This website uses Common Core strategies to help students practice the material they are learning at school. Compass Learning uses individual test results to choose appropriate lessons for each student and the SRI and MAP tests are given to students online so using the internet in this manner should be great practice for those tests! Usernames and passwords were sent home on Thursday with 2nd and 3rd graders. If you did not receive them please send me an email so I can get them to you. I have added the Compass Learning link to this page. It is to the right of this post under the the Important Links tab.
The 1st and 2nd grade field trip was canceled, once again, due to the rain and it being a walking field trip. We have rescheduled for April 26, 2015. Forms will go home in March for that date. **We also have our field trip to Skidaway Island State Park on Wednesday November 18, 2015. Remember to send your child in appropriate clothing for the outdoors/woods such as pants, tennis shoes, etc. You must apply any desired bug spray at home, as we are not allowed to apply at school.
PTA Read-A-Thon has begun! Please encourage your child to read, read, read! This year, the funds will be used to purchase Readers Theater kits. Students who raise more than $100 will receive a gift certificate for the Book Fair coming up! The Holiday Book Fair will be held in the Media Center December 7-11.
We are planning a Harvest Feast for Tuesday- 11/24! We will come together as a community to enjoy a meal prepared by the students. I am looking forward to seeing the students work to prepare the meal and then sit down to take delight in the results of their effort! We are going to need family contributions to make this meal possible. I will post a signupgenius.com list soon, so be on the lookout!
