Important Reminders

And were off!!! Welcome to the

beginning of a new school year! I
am looking forward to getting to
know each individual child and
working with them to make this a
successful year of education!
As we begin the school year, I
want to give you an idea how how I
teach within my classroom. My
instruction is very inquiry based!
This means that my students will
take part in many investigative,
hands-on activities. When your
child comes home, expect them to
be exhausted as they will be in
charge of their learning each day!

Bison Elementary Sock Hop is
tomorrow, Tuesday, August 26
th

at 5:00 p.m. Bring your socks to
dance!

Announcements
This section of the newsletter will be used each
week to update you on upcoming events and to keep
you informed of our current curriculum.

Reading
We will be setting up our routines that will remain in
place for the remainder of the year. We will
specifically be focusing on selecting books that are
interesting and at our levels. We will also be learning
and practicing how to read independently for an
extended period of time!

Writing
This week we will be doing a writing project about our
summer. We will also review nouns, verbs, adverbs,
and adjectives by creating an All About Me Dictionary.

Math
This week we will be reviewing concepts taught in
third grade. Each day, your child will work with a
partner to move through math centers focusing on
multiplication using arrays and equations, word
problems, perimeter, fractions, and more!

Science
This week we will take part in an activity that involves
spaghetti noodles, a marshmallow, and a few inches of
tape. It will definitely get your childs brain working!
Ask them about it on Thursday!
