Classroom Expectations

We have been working hard brainstorming and refining our classroom expectations.  The goal is to create a set of rules that promote a productive learning environment for all.
Our expectations for the year are:

• Be Respectful to everyone and everything 
• Be Mindful 
• Be Safe and Kind
• Help each other
• Keep the classroom neat

By following these few rules we are setting the tone for a great year!

Math Homework Tonight

Learning Can Be Child's play

Children can learn even when playing a game.
We play a lot of games designed to re-enforce concepts we're learning in class.
A few examples are:

• Shut the Box
• Make 10
• 10's Go Fish 
• Double It
• Sparkle 

Games promote cooperation, inquiry, strategic thinking, logic and fun.

There is writing homework tonight!!
 Please check in Home-School Folders.

Harvest Day!!!!!!!

                           

Today was Harvest Day at UCS and it was delicious!
Our lunch featured fresh veggies picked by us, and potato leek soup with potatoes, leeks, and onions from our garden.
To top off the day we had our Zucchini Relay Race at the end of the day.
                                       Lots of fun was had by all! 
A special shout out goes to Carol Sullivan and to all who volunteer to help in our garden.  It is a success because of all your hard work.

Monday 9/15

It was a cold one this morning.  Don't forget to send in sweatshirts and coats as the weather begins to cool off.  Our recess time is 12:00, it can still be pretty chilly at that hour.
Check students folders to see what they've been doing in math.  All math menu work will come home on Mondays.
