WEEK OF FEBRUARY 17


Too Good For Drugs Program
During our 6th session of T.G.F.D., Deputy Seward shared a power point presentation about tobacco. Students learned different ways people use tobacco and how each of those uses negatively affects the human body. Students received a fact sheet about tobacco that should be shared and discussed with a parent.

Thank You to Valentine Volunteers
A special thanks to Mrs. Daly, Mrs. Arlt, and Mrs. Potter for planning and running a great party. Also, thank you to Mrs. Veselak and Mrs. Morrison for providing paper goods, treats, and drinks for us to enjoy. Finally, thanks to Mrs. Flynn for contacting and organizing the volunteers for me. Our hearts were all a-flutter from all the fun!

Subject Update:
  • Spelling - The Lesson 19 pretest will be given on Tuesday. The students will be assigned homework during the week to practice their words, and a final test will be given on Friday. *Students may only print 5 words "just in case." Please continue to work on cursive letter formation at home!
  • English - We will finish our writing work about something scary, and will begin our next grammar unit on adjectives.
  • Reading - Students will continue to practice a variety of reading strategies as we work with historical fiction: author's purpose and viewpoint, fact and opinion, and cause and effect. 2nd Trimester reading projects have been graded. The next project will not be announced until the 3rd Trimester begins.
  • Science - We will play "SYMBO" to test our understanding of the Periodic Table of Elements while having a little fun. Then we will learn about the three states of matter.
  • Social Studies - The students will continue to learn about French exploration in North America and their new settlements.
