We had an excellent eleventh week in Second Grade! Next week, we will continue Unit 2 in reading, titled, "Nature’s Wonders." The big question for the unit is "What patterns do we see in nature?" Throughout the week, we will focus on informational text. The weekly question is, "What patterns can we see on a prairie?" The spelling pattern will be long a: ai, ay, ea. In Math, we will begin topic 5. This topic covers subtracting within 100 using strategies. Updates: It is HIGHLY recommended that students practice their basic addition and subtraction facts with flashcards regularly at home. If you have any questions, please contact your child's teacher via ClassDojo. Have a terrific weekend and we will see everyone on Monday!

Enjoy the break! Second quarter is here, and we are excited to start the quarter fresh! Please make sure students press turn in when turning in their work. Please note that we follow the grading policy from PGCPS. Please look over the policy. Students are required to fill out the make-up form BEFORE attempting to redo the assignment (located in Google Classroom). Also, teachers have to approve the student before they do the assignment because not all assignments are eligible for make-up. Please express to your scholar the importance of turning in their own work on time. If they have not attempted to complete the assignment and it is late, it will NOT be accepted, per the PGCPS Grading Policy. Parents will have until Wednesday to request a redo of an assignment. Resubmissions must be submitted by the following Sunday. If an assignment is not eligible for a redo, teachers will put "not eligible for redo" in the assignment description. Class Dojo is our main form of communication. Please join your scholar’s homeroom teacher’s Class Dojo. Please check Class Dojo for any updates and new information to be shared. If you would rather use email as your main form of communication, please tell your scholar’s teacher. Lastly, please be sure to check SchoolMax for all graded assignments. All students should be bringing their school devices with them to school daily. Have a great week! Wednesday- Friday: No School Enjoy your break! Third Grade Team

Quarter 1 has ended and we are now in Quarter 2. The bar has been raised and we are looking forward to see the amount of growth that students will make this quarter. The content is becoming harder and we are encouraging all scholars to stay on top of their studies so they do no fall behind. Next week in Reading, students will be identifying text structures, correcting/making predictions in informational text. In Social Studies, we will begin Chapter 3 Government. In Math, students will use strategies and properties to divide by 1-Digit Numbers. Scholars who are not fluent with multiplication/division facts will struggle with division. Please encourage your scholar to work on memorizing their multiplication facts. In Science, students will be investigating how people extract and use natural resources. Please check SchoolMax weekly to stay abreast of your scholar's grades in all academic areas. Students can request a re-do of an assignment using the Google Form that is posted in Google Classroom. Only assignments that have been assigned or entered in SchoolMax within the last week can be redone unless noted otherwise. Please have your scholar complete one form for each redo request. Once the form has been submitted your scholar's teacher will give out additional information. If students are granted a redo, the assignment(s) must be completed within 3 days from the date assigned. Please encourage your scholar to complete assignments in a timely fashion. Not using the time given to complete assignments will result in falling behind and it will be very hard to catch up. Just a friendly reminder that ClassDojo is the best way to contact us. We are available from 7:55 a.m. - 2:55 p.m.

Fourth Grade Team

Students applied mathematical practices to solve word problems that involve multiplying decimals. Next week students will take the Topic 4 Assessment on Tuesday 11/23. Students will wrap up Properties of Matter with a Topic Quiz on Monday 11/22 and begin Earth Science. Students should be thinking about their topic for the STEM Fair. Topics are due to the Science teacher on December 3rd. Have a great week!

We will also include reviews and discussions to practice reflection activities. Necessary materials include: sketchbooks/paper, pencils, and colored pencils or crayons. Technology Greetings, K-2 practiced: Keyboarding: Locate and Type Letters K, L, M, N, and O In this engaging and interactive digital lesson, the learners receive direct instruction and practice in keyboarding the letters K, L, M, N, and O as they locate and type the letters, recognize the letter sounds, and learn the relationship between the letters on the keyboard and on the screen. 3-5 practiced: Keyboarding: Home Row This engaging and interactive digital lesson provides direct instruction and practice in the area of basic keyboarding techniques needed to type using the home row keys. The learners gain knowledge about proper finger placement and posture. Music K-2 students are exploring the concept of pitch and second grade is beginning to place pitches on the staff! Third grade is learning note names of the treble and bass clef and 4th and 5th graders are extending their knowledge of the staff to identify melodies and harmonies and play them on instruments. PE Another fantastic week in PE. We reviewed sports. Scholars are doing great in PE! Spanish All students will need a Spanish composition journal labeled with their name, teacher, and grade.
