All students will be photographed for the school yearbook and student IDs, regardless of whether packets are purchased.
We have scheduled Back to School Night on October 24th from 5:30-6:30pm. Parents will have the chance to come in and see our classroom, some of the things the children are doing/creating, discuss classroom routines and policies, and get questions answered. It is a great chance for us to come together as a group. I will have volunteer sign up list that night for those who have been fingerprinted with Creekside. This night is for parents only.
This week in ELA we are learning about biographies and reading about Abraham Lincoln. We will be learning to understand the author's purpose and how to answer questions. We will also be studying contractions and proper nouns. In Math, we continuing to work with a variety of word problems. We will likely be finishing this math unit early next week. Our next focus of study will be learning place values and using them to add 2 and 3 digit numbers. In Science we will be studying "Science Safety" and "Earth" in our Science Studies Weekly. We also continue to study and observe the seasonal changes around us. In Social Studies we will be learning about our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln and the ways in which groups and nations try to resolve problems with one another.

I look forward to getting a chance to speak with all of you this week. I'm excited to share your child's progress with you and to have you see some examples of their work at Back toSchool Night. Once again, please be sure to send a jacket and a water bottle to school with your child every day. Thank you!
Have a great week!
