Spring Break!

Mar 21

Thank you to all the parent who came to conferences and shared in their child's learning. 


School resumes on Monday, April 1.  Enjoy the break!



Math Problem Solving and Subtraction

This week we have been using CUBES as a strategy to help us remember all of the steps we need to take in order to solve a word problem. 




We have also been reading our problems carefully looking for the math vocabulary words that tell us what we need to do in order to solve the problem. 

Or Addition? 


 Circle of Courage Clubs: will be starting the first Friday back after spring break and will be running until May 24th.

 “No-Waste Wednesday:"The Green Team is working hard to promote reducing our Carbon Footprint by Reducing, Reusing and Recycling. We will be having our first “No-Waste Wednesday” (aka Litter-less lunch) on Wednesday, March 20th. We encourage kids to bring no prepackaged food to school and to be creative in using only reusable or recyclable containers to pack their snacks and lunch. After this Wednesday, these “No-Waste Wednesdays” will occur once per week for the remainder of the year. We will be weighing the impact of this initiative in Green Team Club by looking at the amount of landfill garbage we are able to reduce for the months of March, April, May and June.

Just a quick friendly reminder that we are still collecting plastic milk jug, water bottle and juice bottle/carton lids to use for our Green Team Club recycled art project. Please continue to send in with your child, in order to ensure that we have enough combined to make a wonderful art piece for our school! We will continue to collect these plastic lids until the week after Spring Break April 5th,2019.
