NEWS FROM THE CLASSROOMS
K/1 - We had a very busy week. On Tuesday we visited the
Planetarium at the Town hall. It was wonderful! Please ask
your child about his/her experience.
On Thursday we went to the library and Mr. Brower read a story to
everyone. Library will be in two weeks, November 6th.
We learned time and counting on by tens in first grade math.
Kindergarten measured items bigger and smaller than they are as well as
weighing objects in the balance pans.
We administered reading assessments on Thursday for the first through
sixth grade. The first graders were very proud and pleased to be
reading one at a time to me. They did very well.
Next Tuesday the Chewonki group will give us a presentation on bats in
the morning. We are doing follow up activities about bats so look
for these.
Interim report are being sent home today. These are just a
snapshot of your child≠s progress the ≥official≈ report cards come home
on December 5th and we will have conferences before that to discuss the
report and your child≠s progress. Have a fun weekend!

2/3 - We have had the best week. We have been busy learning about
elections, reading Halloween book, and learning silent e rules.
We have a new friend in our class. His name is Cameron. He
is in second grade. Reed is glad to have a boy in his class
finally. We are practicing for the Patriotic Concert we will
perform the day after election day. Please set aside some time to
bake for the PTO annual election day bake sale. We need
moms and dads to man the table from 11:30 - 3:00. I would think
an hour is all you need to volunteer to do. Does anyone have time
to sell goodies? We have a strange bus useful visitor coming to
our class on Tuesday........has a connection to Halloween as well.
Mid trimester reports come home today, 8 weeks have gone by
already. If you have questions or concerns please call Mrs. M.
4,5,6 - We≠ve started to study the U.S. government just in time for the election.
Students were introduced to the three branches of government and the
role of each branch. They were astounded to learn that the
president doesn≠t make the laws. We then discussed why a
candidate for President would make promises if he/she was unable to
keep them. Next week we will look at campaign advertising and
examine how candidates try to win your vote. If you are watching
TV with your child, have him/her listen closely to these campaign
ads. We have started our MAD Minutes in math! Each student
is trying to successfully solve twenty-five math facts in one
minute. They receive their choice when they complete each
level(addition, subtractions, multiplication, and division). We
will be doing these daily until just before Christmas vacation.
