Fall Hike

Some photos from our fabulous Fall Hike today in Battell Woods....it was gorgeous weather and the class had a great time exploring, climbing and collecting.  We have started our new IB unit "How the World Works" and our hike was a great opportunity to explore more about living and nonliving things.

 

 

 

 

Short Week of School

Hello Families,
     I wanted to remind everyone that there is no school on Friday, October 18th and Friday, November 1st.  I will be sending home the scheduled parent conference dates and times this week in the red folders.  I am holding conferences on Nov. 5, 7 and 8.  Please let me know as soon as possible if your scheduled time does not work for you and we can reschedule.  My classroom phone is 382-1458. 
     Here are some pics from Team B-3!

All School Meeting Coming Up

Hello Families,
     Our next All School Morning Meeting is this Thursday, the 10th.  We invite all students to wear their Mary Hogan Hawks shirts on our Meeting days.  This meeting will be run by 6th graders....the Kindergartners will be excited to spot their Big Buddies up front leading the group!
     We are finishing up our first unit, How We Organize Ourselves, and the children have worked hard to create, understand, practice and explain our classroom agreements, our routines, our classroom organization and our community roles.  Our letter focus this week is o and g....so of course our key word this week is "go"!  The Kindergartners are working on combinations of 5, patterns and number formation at Math Workplaces.  Take a look at the kids in action last week!
