It's Pumpkin Time!

     Please send a pumpkin to school with your child by Monday, October 24th. We will be doing work with the pumpkins each day during science. Please send a pumpkin that your child can carry independently.
     We will be doing many hands-on activities with the pumpkins. After the experiments are done, the students will be able to decorate their pumpkins and bring them home!
THANKS!

Goodbye Mr. Papadonis

Today we had our Science Magic assembly presented by Ms. Pavlicek, Mr. Papdonis, and Mr. Musscleman. This was a farewell show as Mr. Papadonis heads on to enjoy his retirement. Here are a few pictures of the great event:

Homework and Reading Groups

All of the students have been hard at work the last couple of weeks practicing the rules and routines of the school.
We will start sending homework home on Monday, October 3rd. It is a packet of materials to reinforce and practice skills we are working on in our classrooms. Please be sure to read with your child every night for at least 20 minutes and to fill in the reading log each day. The packet is due back on Fridays.
We will also begin switching classrooms for reading groups on Monday. Remember, your child may be working in any of our classrooms during our literacy block M-Th.

As always, thank you for your support and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call or email us :)
