Dear families,
We have a had a full week of learning experiences this week! The students enjoyed counting coins in math and making a watercycle in a bag in sciencece.

On Thursday we had the great pleasure of visiting Trevvett’s Living Wax Museum presented by our fourth graders. The students learned about so many African American achievers! This is a great program that your child has to look forward to next year!

Next week in reading the students will be learning about all kinds of functional text including: recipes, flyers, and directions. In writing we will continue to learn about adjectives and crafting fictional stories. In math we will continue to learn about counting and comparing coins with a value of $5 or less, and begin to make change. If your child struggles with facts for addition and subtraction now is a great time to solidify this foundational skill by visiting mobymax! Students who practice fact fluency for at least 20 minutes a week in February earn a special prize from Mrs.Broudy and Mrs. Rhoden!
In science we will continue to learn about the water cycle focusing on conservation of water. Our STEAM activity on Monday is a challenge to design a device that will conserve water. We will also learn about other earth pattern

Dear Trevett Parents,
My name is Lathem Koerner, and I will be working with our class while Mrs. Duffy is out on maternity leave. I am starting my career in teaching after completing my master’s in teaching at James Madison. Before that, I worked as a bilingual paralegal in Washington D.C., after studying at William and Mary. I’ve been working in the Henrico school district for this school year and look forward to the chance to get to know your students. I love cooking, and occasionally dabble in baking bread. I look forward to the next few weeks, working in collaboration with Ms. Hufnell, students, and parents to achieve our shared learning goals.
Best,
Mr. Lathem Koerner
