Hello Creekside Families,
I can't believe we are on the second week of school already! I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Please see below for the weekly run down on what we are learning this week. I also wanted to let you know that Back to School Night will be Thursday, September 13th. Picture days will be the 25th and 26th of September. I will send out more details on picture day as I get them. Also, homework/IS packets were sent home today and are in your child's backpack. Packets are due back on the following Monday. The spelling tests will also be on Mondays. Thanks!
This week in ELA we are learning how to find the main idea, summarize a text, and alphabetize words in a list. In Math we are working with 1-step word problems. In Science we are learning about living things. In Social Studies we are learning about being responsible. In Health we are learning about body parts and movement.

Writing Assignment
This week’s writing prompt is for your child to write about their summer. Did they travel? Did they visit with their family? Did they do anything special? Please have your child write 3-5 sentences and use their best handwriting on lined paper. Thank you.
(CCSS Writing 3- Write narratives in which they recount a well elaborated event or short sequence of events, include details to describe actions, thoughts, and feelings, use temporal words to signal event order, and provide a sense of closure.)
In closing, please remember that students should be appropriately dressed for the weather and that ALL students need to have a water bottle to keep at school as we do not have cups to offer them should they be thirsty. If your child needs sunscreen, please apply it before they come to school. Just a refresher on our illness policy: If your child is sick, he or she must be fever free and free of vomiting for 24 hours before they may return to school. Thanks!
Have a great week!Jenny
