We had a great week! We enjoyed honoring our veterans yesterday during the Veterans' Day Ceremony. Thank you to Mrs. Lemley, our room parent, as well as Mrs. Cortes and Mrs. Vyas for a wonderful fall party today! There will be photos and videos posted to ClassDojo of the fun.
We will be starting our Native American unit in social studies next week. We study three tribes of the United States - Powhatan, Pueblo, and Lakota. There is a study guide for each tribe, which I will send home on Monday. The kids are also expected to complete a project on a tribe of their choice. I also want to remind everyone of the study guide document which has all links and test dates listed for each social studies and science unit; it can also be found under the "STUDENTS" tab on the blog.

If you have a question about the SEL program that you'd like us to address, please submit it using this form. All students in grades K-5 participate in the SEL Program during the "morning meeting" time. The program aims to build skill sets in students that help handle stress, build positive relationships and practice healthy emotional skills."
