I'd like to remind you all that our Learning Period Conference for LP1 will be held this Thursday, October 3rd. We will be meeting in the 5/6 classroom from 8:15-8:30. Please send your student to the 2nd grade classroom, there will be a teacher prepared to keep an eye on them while we have our brief meeting. Thank you.
I have some good news to share. The 2nd grade class won their second award in a row from Enrichment. Last week they won for "Best Cooperation" and the week before they won for "Best Participation". I'm so proud of them! More exciting news is that Teacher Todd, our music teacher, became a proud father to a baby girl last week! He will be out for the next couple of weeks in order to spend some time with his wife and new baby. Please be sure to read the Snippet for more information about our pending move next week to the new site. Monday, October 7th will be an IS day for all Creekside Students.
In ELA this week, we are reading a play called "The Strongest One". The students are taking turns reading each role and are doing a good job reading with inflection. We are working on asking questions and learning to classify and categorize information. We are also working on consonant diagraphs: ch, tch, sh,th, wh (initial and final). In Math we are working on identifying odds and evens as well as working with using doubles to solve addition and subtraction problems. We will also begin working on word problems toward the end of the week. In Science we are looking at plants and animals in their environment and noticing seasonal changes. In Social Studies, we are learning to use a simple grid system to find specific locations on a map.
