Newsletter 10-30-16

We’ve been reading about Abraham Lincoln in language arts this week.  Students used their book and another article to write informational essays about his life.  We also performed a play about why Abraham Lincoln grew his beard.  Ask your child about it!

We had fun practicing proper nouns this week.  We made pumpkins and wrote stories about them, highlighting all of our proper nouns.

We have been practicing two-digit addition in math.  Our class has been learning how to write out a problem and regroup when needed.  Remember that there are resources for each lesson on the Pearson Realize website.

We made a graph of the Halloween costumes we like best.

radKIDS Update

This week in radKIDS we discussed danger and emergencies (pages 1-14 in the Family Safety Manual). We also learned some moves to help us defend ourselves if we are attacked (radKID stance, blocking and peppering).  Please help your child practice dialing 911 on your unconnected phone, and create a family password.

Our radKIDS graduation will be November 18.  Mark your calendar for this special event.

We had a great time celebrating Red Ribbon Week!

We’re so excited for Halloween, and we hope to see you at the parade.  Please remember that there are no masks or weapons allowed.  Students will be going out for recess, so please make sure your child has appropriate shoes for running and playing. Check the school website http://sunrise.canyonsdistrict.org for more information.

Here are more of our Halloween art pictures.
