After a week of freezing cold weather and inside recesses, we are all ready for some warmer weather. Keeping our fingers crossed that maybe next week will bring some our way!
Today, January 24th, marks the close of the 2nd quarter and our mid-way point in the school year. It's hard to believe that half of the school year is already behind us. Mrs. Sabatini's third graders marked this day by celebrating in true "half-way" style. Building off knowledge they've been gaining studying about fractions, they embraced the HALF-WAY mentality with half hair-dos, half painted faces and much much more. Check out some of the creative ways they demonstrated what one half represents!
Report Cards - Term 2
Teachers will be working on report cards over the next couple of weeks and will be sending them home on Friday, February 7th.
Students in Kindergarten, Grade One and Grade Two are working this week and next on the second round of DIBELS assessments. The Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) are a set of procedures and measures for assessing the acquisition of early literacy skills from kindergarten through sixth grade. They are designed to be short (one minute) fluency measures used to regularly monitor the development of early literacy and early reading skills.
Spirit Day
Thanks to everyone who donated new hats, mittens and coats as part of our second Spirit Day of the school year.
Students and staff did an outstanding job today wearing all sorts of different moustaches. Great job everyone showing your school spirit! Enjoy the photos.
This week in Mrs. Pitman and Mrs. Maxwell's class...
The students were visited by a very special guest! Haesoo Shin, a high school history teacher from Korea who is staying with one of Mrs. Pitman and Mrs. Maxwell's students for the week, stopped by the classroom. She
taught the students a little about the Korean culture and how to write their
names using Korean symbols.
The students are holding up their names that they copied off of the board.
