We read Carl the Complainer last week. It teaches students how to write a petition and goes with our big idea: How can we be responsible community members. We are also working on prefixes and cause and effect.
Math
We are continuing our unit on measurement. We have been using rulers and tape measures to explore inches, feet and yards. We also started learning the metric system with centimeters and meters.
Activities
The fire department came to our school to teach us about fire safety.
We had an awesome college week, and the PTA made it even more exciting with a Harry Potter theme. Each grade got to make up a name for their college, and we picked Seeker University. Our mascot was a golden snitch, and we sang our school song at the assembly. Second grade won the blackout contest, so thanks to all of you who helped your child find the information!
We had great presenters for career day. Kayli's grandpa talked to us about being an author.
We also learned about what it's like to be an auto mechanic and own your own shop.
We learned about what it's like to be a dance instructor and own your own studio. We got to try doing the worm, and we had some amazing dance battles!
We learned about being a resident services coordinator.
Congratulations to Brody for completing the 20 Book Challenge!

- Do Reflex Math, at least to the green light
- Go on Prodigy (only for students who have 100% in Reflex Math)
- Complete activities in Reading Plus (log in through Clever with csddocs account)
