Happy Holidays!

We had a great short week! It was so nice to read all of the compliments the students wrote for their secret pals and we had such a great time finding out who their secret pals were! Thank you for your help with this special project. They gave very thoughtful gifts and had fun too! I hope you have a wonderful vacation with your children!

Reminder- Field trip money is due on Tuesday, January 5th. Please make sure you send in the slip and payment by then if you have not already! :)

Peek At The Week

Hi Everyone! We had a busy week! It was full of fun and learning! My favorite part was Friday because we had so much fun at the Discovery Museum in Acton! I took a lot of pictures to share with you!

In Math, we finished Topic 7 on Mental Subtraction and took a test. The students have come a long way since September! Remember to have them login to Reflex to practice their facts!

In Writing and Social Studies, we are finishing the individual biography projects. I hope we can have a final product by the end of this week.

In Fundations we started learning about open syllables and we have been doing DRA reading assessments to see the growth that the students have made since the end of last year.

We will be browsing for books to see what we would like to order at the Book Fair on Tuesday and then returning on Wednesday to purchase books. Please come and support our school! :)

I hope you had a great weekend!

-Mrs. Farrand
