Dear families,
Thank you for support this week with the students’ Animal Relationships project for homework! The posters look fantastic and the students seemed to really enjoy a different type of homework to support their learning.
Speaking of posters; Mrs. Bushey, our school counselor is sponsoring a poster content for Bullying Prevention Month. This is optional, not required. Interested students brought home a form today in their daily folders. This is due October 22.
Next week in Reading we will be moving on to studying nonfiction text features and functional text like recipes, table of contents, and flyers. In Writing we will begin a prompt where the students get to combine two or more animals and describe their creation. In Math we will finish our unit on place value by rounding numbers to the tens, hundreds, and thousand places. The students have a Math test on Friday, October 12. The students enjoyed this comparing numbers website so much in class I am adding the link so that they can use it review for their test at home. In Social Studies we will begin a unit of Geography, reviewing continents, oceans, cardinal directions, and map skills. We will learn intermediate directions and geographical features of each specific continent.
On Friday, October 12 the students will be following a recipe to create “Witch Hat” cookie treats. Look for a permission slip/donation form in their folders on Tuesday!
Parent teacher conferences are rapidly approaching. I am attaching the link to my sign up genius for Thursday, November 8. In addition, if it suits your schedule better please schedule a conference on Tuesday, November 6. I will be available on that day from 8-4 pm. We are encouraging all parents to make every attempt to meet at Trevvett to experience the learning environment while having a conference. Thank you!

Gifted Screening Window
