Peek at the Week for 12/14

There are so many exciting things going on this week, so please take a minute to read through the notes below. This has been quite an eventful week in our household. My 1st grader broke her arm and we spent the better part of two days in the ER and visiting orthopedic doctors for a lovely sparkly purple cast. It has been quite the experience! Thank you for your patience with my slow-response to emails last week. If I have missed a question, please let me know and I will get back to you this afternoon or first thing tomorrow morning.

Gentle Reminder:

If you use a Concord classroom after school for girl scouts or boy scouts, please be sure you put things back how they were.  Please do not use the classroom supplies.  Additionally, if any snacks are served, be aware that children with allergies use this space too so you should wipe tables down afterwards.  Thank you for helping us to keep our learning spaces clean.

In reading, we are continuing our work with fiction texts. We are learning all about characters, their feelings and personality traits. This week we will take our final work-study tests of this quarter. This week we all focused on work with plural nouns and contractions using an apostrophe.

We are also continuing our work as fiction writers. We focused a lot on problem and solution, and how characters react with emotions.

We have wrapped up our chapters on addition with regrouping. We will continue to refine this skill this week while we work on subtraction with regrouping!

Monday we have LIBRARY with Mrs. Graeff! Please help your child remember to bring back their books. They can't get new books until they are returned. This week, our class gets to use the Robots in the library! How exciting!

The Reindeer Relay Assembly is right before the party at 1:30, allowing for set-up time in the classroom. The party starts at 2:00!

Winter Musical!

It's showtime this Sunday, December 6th! Your children have been working very hard preparing a wonderful musical for you, and they are ready to go!

Please, have your children wear black pants, sweaters, and winter hats or earmuffs. (Scarves are optional.)

Your children should meet me in the Lindbergh High School Auditorium lobby at 2:45 p.m. They should line up with their teachers. 

Snow Way Out will start promptly at 3:00 p.m.

Should something happen that prevents your child from being there, please call or text me at 314-620-7849 or email me.

Mrs. Creech emailed a copy of songs lyrics and scripts this morning in case you need an extra! (Scripts went home with those students who requested a speaking part, and every student brought home a note about their role in the show.) 

I look forward to seeing all of you this Sunday afternoon at 2:45 p.m.!
