Dear Families,

We hope you are enjoying this beautiful fall weather! Here is an update on what we have been doing:

Reading:  Students are learning about choosing ‘Just Right’ books.  They are working on building their reading stamina.  For read aloud we are sampling various series from our library.

Writing:  We have started our Writer’s Workshop!  Students learned about writer’s notebooks and started adding items to their heart maps.  We also started reading stories and adding connections to our idea banks.  We will spend a lot of time gathering ideas for our writing.

Science:  Starting Monday there will be change to the science classes.  Mrs. White will move from Mrs. Thompson’s class to Mr. Maloney’s class.  Ms. Jesmonth will move from Mr. Maloney to Mrs. Thompson’s class.  This was a necessary switch to alleviate scheduling issues.  Please contact Mr. Howard with any questions. (dhoward@cvsu.org)

Specials:  On Monday, we will rotate to new specials!  Here’s the change:

Mrs. Franklin:  Music

Mrs. Thompson: PE**

Mr. Maloney: Art

**PE takes place outside at 8:30am.  The grass is still very wet!  We are recommending students bring boots to wear or extra shoes and socks to change into after.

Chromebooks:   This week students began bringing chromebooks home each night.  We are so proud of how responsible they are with returning them the next day.  Please make sure that your child is charging them at home so they are ready to go in class!
