Field Trip, library books and classroom update

We have several events coming up this week, including our field trip to see Sleepy Hollow. This is on Thursday, so please remember if you have preordered a lunch. If not, remember to bring your own from home. We are sorry that we are unable to accommodate parent chaperones, but space in the actual theater is very limited. In the future, we would love to have parents join us. Please see the Pendleton Press for additional events, such as Photo Day and fundraiser deadlines.

This week, we continued with adding and subtracting numbers, including rounding to certain place values first. One area where students usually have difficulty is in subtracting across zeros. For example, 1000-872. Students need to know when to borrow and which number become 9 and which have 10 added to them.

Some students are learning how to create ToonDoo educational cartoons, which yuo can view on our Creativity Blog. The students are still studying plant sin Mrs. Moore's science class. They need to make sure they study for these tests and take all of their homework seriously. Remember to view your child's grades online and discuss positives and negatives with him or her.

What story did we read in language arts this week? What story will we read this coming week? Ask your child; get engaged.

Lastly, Thursday will be our library day and all book sneed to come back that day. If a student wants to check a book out again it must be RE-checked.
