Friday Reminders 10/9/2020

Friday, October 9, 2020

Just an FYI, LCPS did decide to that Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade will be going Hybrid starting October 27th. Our class is one of the Hybrid classes for second grade. The kids are split into two groups. One group will come to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays; the other will come to school on Wednesdays and Fridays. The other days will be spent at home doing a Playlist. You can find more information on the Puma Paw. If you have any concerns or questions, please email our principal, Mr. Thiessen at paul.thiessen@lcps.org.

We will be doing our DRA testing next week, 10/13 - 10/16. I will be sending out reminder emails, but you can reference the schedule HERE. After DRA, we will be done with testing until December/January!

Other than DRA testing, next week will be pretty normal. We will meet from 8:15 - 10:50-ish and then the kids will head to specials at 11:00am. Then they'll have lunch and start their Playlist around 12:45pm. It should be a smooth transition back into routine.

Week Overview
*Morning Meeting - Due to testing, we didn't have many discussions during morning meeting, but we did share our numbers each morning. We will definitely learn about Active Listening next week.
*Reading - We focused on identifying the beginning, middle, and end of stories. Next week, we will identify the problem and solution of different stores.
*Writing - The kids practiced identifying nouns, adjectives, and verbs on Seesaw. We will focus on writing complete sentences (punctuation, capital letters).
*Math - The kids practiced skills that we have learned previously. Next week, we will finish up with patterns and ordinal numbers and start focusing on place value.
*Science - Due to testing, the kids worked on a personal Culture Project on Seesaw. Next week, we will continue learning about communities and diversity.

I'll see the kids on Tuesday morning!
Have an awesome three-day weekend,
