Week 9 Newsletter 10/8-10/12

 Fall Break is October 15-19

         

Spirit Week is this week! Please check the BDS school newsletter for information on 

                      what to wear. 

         

This coming week marks the end of the first 9 weeks of school. Report cards will be sent

            out the week after Fall Break. 

This Week:

Math: We will finish the math unit and have a test on Friday, October 12, 

Science: Seasons

Language Arts: Complex, Compound and Simple sentences. 

Reading: We will begin incorporating reading centers into our daily classroom routines. I believe the practice of using centers will help the students to stay focussed and engaged in learning throughout the entire day by being able to focus on different activities for a reachable amount of time. Also, this will provide your child with the ability to engage in more individualized instruction. 

Please download "Liberty Porter, First Daughter" to your iPad.
