Hello Families!
I hope you all enjoyed a fun three day weekend, while honoring and remembering those who are the reason for the Memorial Day holiday.

Thank you for your flexibility regarding our change in schedule for Walk-a-Thon last Friday. We had such a crazy weather week, and didn't want our students to miss their Walk-a-Thon. In the end, the timing was perfect as we finished up right as the rain moved in. Hopefully the weather cooperates as we enjoy Field Day tomorrow and the Coyote Hills' carnival on Friday evening.

This week we will focus on ....

Math: In Second Grade math, we will be taking an end of year test. There will be no math homework this week, due to testing and Field Day tomorrow!

            In Third grade math, we will continue  Unit 10, a review of length and measurement. NO Math Homework Weds. due to Field Day.

           Continue to practice math facts for fluency.  We want all students to be proficient in addition and subtractions facts by the end of second grade.

FAST:  We are testing Friday on Lesson 31 spelling words- Last week for Spelling!!!!

Wordly Wise: We will be finishing up Unit 15, and taking cumulative vocabulary tests.

Reading: The next 2 weeks will be focused on Synthesizing and Summarizing. 

Writing: Most of the classes are focused on Report Writing

Social Studies:  Unit 6 is continuing with... "How are goods made and brought to us?"

FOSS:  FOSS has completed for the year.

Hello Families!

It was wonderful seeing so many of you at the auction this weekend. Thank you for all you do in supporting our school. We are truly lucky to have such generous and supportive families.

This week we are wrapping up DRA testing, going on a field trip, walking for our Walk A Thon, and looking forward to a three day weekend!

About our Field Trip-
A few reminders:
All students will need a sack lunch (preferably disposable rather than in a lunch box) on Thursday. Please do not send your child with any money, as snack bar items will not be purchased!!
All chaperones must drive themselves to the Wildlife Experience. It is easy to find at the corner of Peoria and Lincoln. google map to Wildlife Experience 

We will be leaving Coyote Hills shortly after 9:00 (as soon as everyone's here and we can get loaded), and will meet the chaperones at the entrance to the Wildlife Experience.
Chaperones, it may be a good idea to bring a backpack to help carry students' snacks, etc.
 We will watch an IMAX movie at 12:00, and load buses to return to Coyote Hills about 1:00.
We will provide chaperones with an agenda on Thursday. 
Look for more information via email this week from your child's teacher.
