Notes
  • **If you feel strongly about your child continuing to wear their mask throughout the day, please do let me know so that I can reinforce your decision with your student. Thank you!
    • Just to clarify - I cannot make your student wear their mask, but I can remind them and let you know if they are repeatedly choosing not to wear it.

Week Overview
Morning Meeting/SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) - We mainly discussed expectations while there is a substitute in the classroom. We also restarted our Restorative Circle morning meetings and will continue to do them the rest of the year (this is the training Ms. Stiffler was at this week).
Handwriting - We practiced our cursive writing.
Reading -  We reviewed summarizing stories.
Writing -  We practiced our letter writing skills and started our graphic novels/comic books.
Math - We started our fractions unit talking about equal parts, denominator, and numerator. We will continue this learning next week.
Social Studies - We started our economics unit - goods vs. services, needs vs. wants, and types of resources -- capital, human, natural. We will continue this next week.

Have a wonderous weekend,
