For Your Information...
BES Cafeteria
The
cafeteria does sell ice cream and extras such as chips and flavored water. Please remember that your child is able to
charge these items on their lunch card unless you send a note to let me know
they are not allowed to charge these items. Please discuss this with your child
and make sure they understand your wishes with regard to charging extras to
their lunch account.
Field Trip Information
In
the red folder today is a letter regarding our February field trip to the
orchestra. Mrs. Lee needs the $15 by Friday, September 18 so that she will have
time to order the recorders for each student. If money is not received by the
18th your child will be able to borrow a recorder, but will not have
one of his/her own. If you need assistance with this fee, please email me so
that we can find resources to support
Information from P.E. Teachers
We are excited to participate in the ACTIVE GAMECOCK
LOG again. The log went home last week in your child’s Thursday folder.
*Please have your child bring in an old sock to keep
as a slate eraser if you have not already done so.
We have finished our chapter on
place value and will move into chapter 2, addition, on Tuesday.
My Math Online Resources
Students
can access practice activities and additional My Math resources by clicking on
this LINK. The log in codes came home today in
the red folder. We will also be taping one to the inside cover of the agenda.
ELA Updates
We read lots of great picture books this week to wrap
up our Reading Is Thinking focus from the past 2 weeks. Students now have
multiple ways to stop and think about their reading that we will refer to often
in class. Be sure to ask them about the book Stellaluna
that we read on Wednesday. In this text we were able to identify many
different thinking spots.
Writing
We will be taking a brief pause from our narrative
writings to work on special grandparent writings. Grandparents will be
recognized at BES on Friday, 9/11 with a special breakfast. You must have
turned in the yellow form. We will be sending home these special writings for
you to share with grandparents.
Science Process Skills
This
week we continued to look at the science process skills. The following science
standard is our focus.
3.S.1A.
Conceptual Understanding: The practices of science and engineering support the
development of science concepts, develop the habits of mind that are necessary
for scientific thinking, and allow students to engage in science in ways that
are similar to those used by scientists and engineers.
SC History
We
will be studying the different regions of SC over the upcoming weeks. Students
will be researching each region and organizing their information.
