Valentine's Party

Our class Valentine's Day party will be on Monday, February 14th @ 2:00 pm. Please have your child address a valentine's card to each child in their homeroom. The names will be emailed out, as well as a hard copy will be coming home. You may attach a small treat to the card (if you would like) but please make sure all treats are peanut/tree nut-free

All elementary campuses will be able to have the 1-2 assigned PTO room parents attend and run the parties on February 14th. No other parents or visitors will be able to join that day.


Please see the following from Ms. Matlock...

All children will participate in the Play It Safe lessons in February, unless parents OPT OUT.


New Positive Covid-19 Case Reporting Procedure

A big thank you to our families for communicating positive student Covid cases to us. In order to help streamline the communication process for both families and our campus nurse, please fill out the following Google Form if your child receives a positive Covid-19 test. The form information goes directly to our campus nurse. https://forms.gle/VUex3RUqzgtsNa716


Once our nurse has received the form from a family, she will reach out to them during school hours to discuss a return date to school and any questions they may have.


Headphones/Earbuds

Please ask your child if he or she has working headphones or earbuds for school. If not, please send some to school. We are out of earbuds from the school supply packs and have checked with Ms. Martin about buying class sets. Due to cost, it is not possible at this time.

Scientist of the Week Schedule

Please make sure to check here to see when your child's assigned week is.  If they haven't signed up and would like to, just send Mrs. Shelby or Mrs. Naughton an email and we will get them added.

 


Math 

We are currently looking at Wednesday to be the big day for your kiddo to show what he or she knows about all things area and perimeter; the post test for area and perimeter is here! This includes how to find the area of a rectangle and/or square, how to find the perimeter of any shape, how to find the unknown side when given the perimeter, how to decide if a problem is looking for area or perimeter, and how to find the area of a composite shape. At the end of next week, we will begin our GEOMETRY unit! 2D shapes! Polygons! Lots of new vocab! Exciting, isn’t it? Stay tuned…


Science 

In Science we will begin our new Unit on Patterns in the Sky. We will start by learning about the Sun and how it effects the Earth and Moon.

Reading/Writing 

In reading we will continue our character traits unit by studying plot elements and how characters fit into the story. In writing we will learn how to gear our persuasive essays towards targeted audiences and develop strong reasons to support our opinions.

Social Studies 

In social studies we will explore spending vs. savings, unplanned spending, and how to use a budget to organize expenses.
