Conference Time!

Thank you for taking the time to fill out and return conference forms! I am looking forward to meeting with you over the next few days and talking about your child with you. If for some reason you are unable to attend your scheduled conference, please let me know right away so we can reschedule. Check out Progress Report article under Parent Information on our blog!
We have now wrapped up our science unit about the body and will be spending the next few weeks taking a look at our past! We will be studying various Native American tribes and comparing/contrasting two tribes. If you have any related artifacts, books, or pictures your child is welcome to bring these things in to display or share. We will also be spending some time talking about early pioneers by reading the book The Josefina Story Quilt.
We have finished our math unit about place value and will be taking a look at volume. Specifically, we will be looking at cube models and the volumes of each building and design. Make sure you take a look at the math games available through links on our blog!
Your child will not be bringing home a new spelling sort this week. We will resume spelling next week, receiving new words on Wednesday.
Have a great week!
