It's a Wrap!

Wow, that a wonderful first week we had. It has been great to spend time with your children, getting to know them and watching them so quickly and easily adjust to the newness of fifth grade.

Over the long weekend take a few minutes to ask your child the following questions:

• While writing our classroom vision statements, we discussed the idea of being seen, being heard and being valued. Ask your child what these ideas mean to them and why they are an important part of a healthy and safe community.
• Ask them about the PROPERTIES of Oobleck....well, first you might have to ask them what Oobleck is!
• Ask your child to tell you about the three ways of writing BIG numbers we learned this week....Try writing a few big numbers in expanded form!
• What was one highlight of the week and one thing they are looking forward to next week?

I hope you all enjoy the long holiday weekend. Have fun, be safe and enjoy time with family and friends.

Best,

Ms. Poling
