Our Government Project, Learning Google Slideshow and Sheets, & Student of the Week

Our Government Project
Our Social Studies Unit on communities, government, businesses and services culminated in a bulletin board. Ask your child which agency or place they created.



Learning Google Slideshow and Sheets
As an extension to our animal research, we've learned to create slideshows in Google sheets. In addition, we used primary source data to create a spreadsheet and graph to insert into our slideshow. Ask your child to log onto launchpad through our homepage to show you their work!

Student of the Week
Ali was our student of the week. Ali has been working hard at encouraging others. She turns her work in on time and also can be found doing extra writing during indoor recess or free choice time after lunch. Her dedication inspires those around her. Way to go, Ali!

Student of the Week, March is Reading Month & Conferences

Student of the Week
Bikram was our Student of the Week for encouragement. He participates in discussions and consistently listens to others. Often he will add to a classmate's comments with "I agree with _____..." He tries is best and encourages others to do the same.


March is Reading Month
As part of March is Reading Month, we had a guest reader visit. The students were very engaged and loved listening to the story.



Conferences
Thank you very much for attending your child's conference. It was such a pleasure to visit with you about all of the great things they are doing and to discuss opportunities to grow before they head to 3rd grade. Thank you for your time and support.
