I hope everyone was able to get outside for a bit this weekend. 

• First off, your students did such an awesome job at our first-ever, whole-school, student-led, morning assembly last Friday. I cried with pride over how well they did. 💜💜💜
• I have created a link to our 2022-2023 photo album. I will add pictures throughout the year. So far, we have pictures of some STEM activities, Woodland and Wonders, GMRI, and working in the Reading Garden. 2022-2023 Photos I will also add the link to the side of this blog and let you know when I update it with more photos. 
• The book fair is going on this week. Our day to go to the book fair is on Wednesday, but Mrs. Moloney is letting the kids go down at other times during the week as well. The ice cream social/book fair night is this Wednesday also. Our volume zoo animals will be displayed that night in the Home Ec room. 
• Looking forward to seeing some of you on Thursday!

Math - This week we will focus on realizing that fractions are a division problem and how to interpret equations. 

Language Arts - The students will be creating story arcs for their personal narratives and using that to write their second drafts. 

Book groups are in full swing. This week's focus will be on character development. Ask your student about his or her book. The groups meet on Friday and the students need to come prepared. They have time during the day to read their books, but they can also take them home if they think they need more time. 

Science - We will continue researching and coming up with questions for our topics. Along with STEM Friday. 

Your students worked incredibly hard last Thursday in the Reading Garden. They are absolutely amazing!!!! The Reading Garden looks great. We will continue this Thursday morning. We are almost ready to plant our native ground cover. 

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!
