Dear Parents and Guardians,
For the last few weeks, we have been talking about our feelings and feelings of others. We learned the importance of paying attention to feelings and having empathy. For the next following weeks, we will be learning about our own strong emotions and how to keep them under control. This week we started discussing that when we are able to regulate our emotions, we get along better with others and do better in school.
In Math, practicing continuing to explore different strategies on how to multiply and divide. Our students are practicing DreamBox Learning, so if you are having a hard time logging in, please let me know.
In reading, we identified the turning point of our book Shiloh and considered how the event changes the plot. Additionally, the students used the turning point as evidence of the author’s message.
Reminder/s:
- We will have a field trip on November 8th, at the Oxbow Farm and Conservation Center. Students will tour through the production fields where we will learn about and discuss the challenges of organic food production. Students will also have a chance to do fieldwork. Depending on the weather and what the farm needs, students get to try weeding, gleaning, transplanting, and mulching.
- Since our field trip will be outdoors rain or shine, please remind your child to come to school with their spirit wear, jeans, waterproof coat (with a hood), and rain boots. Since we will be out for most of the day, students will have to bring their own lunch.
- Mr. Dresbeck will be holding his annual Class Candy Collection Competition next week. Students should bring Halloween candy from Monday, November 4th until Wednesday, November 6th. The class that collects the most candy per capita will win a bonus PE class. The collected candy will go to a local homeless youth shelter and to the Ballard Food Bank.
