February News

Welcome back from Vacation!  
We are launching two new units this week:
·      Geometry and
·      Continent Research (as an integrated Writing/ Social Studies unit).
World Continent (color) Clip Art

You will be hearing more about these in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile students did a great job on their Opinion Writing pieces, and on the 2-digit Addition and Subtraction unit in math just before the break... I will be sharing the papers and assessments with you at our upcoming conference.

The conference schedule is available here.  If you have not signed up please do so asap.  Also, please let me know if there is anything in particular you want to review.  We have 20 minutes and I have added a 5- minute transition time just in case J

We had several exciting events just before vacation:  Valentine’s Day, the 100th Day of school, and the Lunar New Year celebration.  Things are much calmer now!!

Finally, last week I attended a School Gardening Conference put on by the Mass Horticultural Society.  It was very informative.  If you would like to volunteer in any way in our gardening efforts, please let me know asap and I’ll put you on our Garden Team email list.   We will be planting seeds by next week in room 6! It’s a sure sign that spring is coming!

Please continue to send in snow pants, boots, mittens and hats with your child... they must have these to play in the snow and to stay dry on the playground!  Thank you!

Finally, this Friday is “Funky Friday”, a spirit day initiated by the HH Student Council.  We will send more information later in the week.  Stay tuned!
