Time Has Flown!

We have been very busy this first quarter! We are now already soon going to be in midterm of the second quarter. Students are settling in to the rituals and routines of the classroom well. With the holidays fast approaching our schedule will try to stay as normal as possible but look for test reminders in the planners as we will have short weeks and days off November through January.

Reading

We are wrapping up the second theme in our reading series. You should have received a nine weeks overview for the curriculum for the second nine weeks in the report card envelope.


Language

We just finished the narrative standard or story writing. Students were to turn in a published story for a language grade this past Friday. We will be moving to report writing when we come back from the Thanksgiving holiday. We will be writing about the state of Virginia as part of our travel theme throughout the school. Mark your calendars for the United States Tour on December 16 to come and see what our students have learned about the fifty states.

Up Coming Dates
November 23 Sports Fest
November 24-26 Thanksgiving Break
November 29 Marine Science Field Trip

You should see a weekly progress report coming home in the Friday Folder. Please review your child's work and sign the report and folder then return on Monday.

Until next time,
R. O'Steen
