Field Trip:
Please have your child wear a rocket
gear Tshirt, gray, or blue shirt to easily
identify them as part of our group. If
you are a chaperone, can you please do
the same?
Book Orders:
Please use your AR reading levels (attached to

What we are working on:
Math: I can represent and recognize numbers on
a ten frame.
Reading: I can confirm predictions about what
will happen in a text.
Social Studies: I can compare and contrast the
past and the present.
Science: I am learning the Engineering Design
Process and I can explain how light and sound
works. I will be creating a model to help a hiking
group lost in the woods communicate for help.
Writing: I can write a complete sentence using
proper spacing, punctuation, and grammar. In my
writing I am spelling learned sight words
correctly. I can recall information from provided
sources about the topic I am writing.
Emails
I have been emailing parents with
classroom/school reminders. Please let me know
if you have not received any so we can check the
email address. The best way is to email me so I
can easily add you to the parent group.
