Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
Today I will be sending home a permission slip for a field trip we will be taking on Thursday, October 6th. We will be headed to the Gulf of Maine Research Institute to participate in LabVenture. You can read all about it on the permission form. If you can get those back to me as soon as you can, that would be great!
This Thursday, we will be headed to Negutaquet Conservation Area where we will be collecting data on the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid with the Woodland and Wonders class. We will be headed out around 8:45 and returning around noon. We will eat lunch when we come back. Can you please make sure your student comes with comfortable walking shoes, a small backpack, a water bottle, and a snack? Also, dressing in layers is always a good idea. If there are any parents that would like to volunteer to join us, please let me know. We can take one to two parents along with us.
MGWS has sponsored the Eben Ezer School in Milot, Haiti for many years. A few local residents are headed to Haiti in October and are hoping to bring down some much-needed supplies. Here is a list of what they are hoping to have donated:
- Toothbrushes (travel size if possible)
- Toothpaste (travel size if possible)
- Soap (travel size if possible)
- Eyeglasses (prescription, reading, and sunglasses are wonderful donations)
- Painkillers (Advil, Aleve, aspirin, Tylenol, etc)
Math - This week we will continue learning about volume. We will be moving away from the visualization using blocks to figuring out volume just by knowing the side lengths.
Language Arts - This week we will most likely finish The Cay. The focus will be on making connections, visualizing, and making judgments in our reading.
I will also introduce Mentor Text Sentences. I pull sentences out of picture books we will read to dissect them. It will reinforce sentence structure, grammar, parts of speech, and punctuation.
Social Studies - We will continue this week with geography, finishing up with latitude and longitude.
Science - Every Friday the students will be participating in some sort of science, technology, engineering, or art activity. We call it STEAM Fridays. On Friday, ask your student what this week's activity was.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. The best way to get a hold of me is through email. I try to check it multiple times during the day, sara.lindgren@rsu35.org
Have a great week!
