Every year we raise money as a school to donate to Maymont's Animal Appreciation Program. Basically, the kids get money and bring it in to school so that the good people at Maymont can keep the animals fed and happy. This year is no different.
To thank the schools that participate Maymont has a day of festivities. However, not every child in every school can go. Only the grade level at Westover Hills that raises the most money can go. I want that to be us.
For more information about the program, just click the link above. Everything is already set up on this end. We just need your help raising the most money. Of course any money id just fine, since it goes to a great cause. But, still, it would be nice to win.
In math this week we'll continue talking about place value. We'll be focusing on standard form (the way we usually write numbers) and expanded form (316 = 300 + 10 + 6). For practice at home you can have your child play Place Value Hockey.
Our focus in social studies science this week will be maps. We'll look at some mountain ranges and rivers. Check the study guide that went home for specifics. In science we will continue recording daily weather data as part of our morning meeting.
PALS is finally over so learning our routines and rituals in language arts will continue unhindered. We'll keep responding to stories in our response journals. This week we'll learn about setting & problem/solutions in fiction and start talking about characteristics of non-fiction
As always I'm looking forward to another great week. Keep checking on your child's behavior via ClassDojo.
