Newsletter 11-13-16

We read the story Bremen Town Musicians in language arts this week.  We had fun putting on animal hats, singing the songs, and acting out the play.  We also studied plural nouns and cause and effect.

We finished up our math unit on two-digit addition and took the test Thursday.  We are starting two-digit subtraction on Monday.

We got to produce the Soaring Sunrise News for the whole school this week.  It was so much fun to watch ourselves Friday!

radKIDS
This week in radKIDS we discussed out and about safety, dog defense, fire safety and Internet safety (pages 21-23, 26-33 in the family manual).  We also learned the last of our defensive moves (toe strike, heel strike, and shin kicks).    Please plan/review with your child your family escape route and meeting place in a fire or other emergency.  Please also ask your child to explain what the Sight-Sound-Distance Rule is.

Our radKIDS graduation will be next Friday, November 18, at 8:30.  We hope you can make it!

I am sending home book orders this week.  You can go online at https://clubs.scholastic.com for a much bigger book selection.  If you would like to give books as Christmas gifts, just send me a note letting me know.  I will keep the books hidden until you can get them.  Our class code is GYPDT, and the orders are due by November 28.

Please remember to sign and send back planners each day.  Our class has been great at bringing back their homework lately!


Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
