2/4/24

Hi everyone,

I hope you've enjoyed the sunshine this weekend! It's been a nice chance of pace from all of the clouds in 2024. Just a couple of quick announcements for the week.

  • Our Valentines Day bowling party (2/15) permission slips went home on Monday this week. Please be sure to send this form back as soon as possible. Note that we've made a change from what was sent home--we will be in the group that leaves for bowling at 11:25 and returns at 1:45.
    • This might be a good day to send an extra snack--we eat lunch at 10:45. 
  • The kids are doing a great job on their Book Bowl reading. As a class, we've read and passed the test for 39 books! A special shoutout to our current class leaders: Ekjit (4 books) and Kaylie (7 books)! Be sure that your child is reading nightly. My classwide goal is for everyone has finished one book and that the majority have at least two finished by the end of the week. Let's keep it going!
  • In math this week we will take the unit 4 test, probably on Wednesday. Homelink packets can be turned in anytime this week but are due by Friday.
  • Upcoming Social Studies Test- Weds., Feb. 7. In class we have been learning about the 13 colonies. Students have maps to study, along with an information chart. We are still working on some of this in class. 🌲🛶Hopefully they will study a bit each day to be prepared! Thank you.

Trail Map 8/24

 Hi Everyone, We had a great first week of school! We spent a lot of time this week getting to know your kids and learning about how we do things here at Central Woodlands. We're geared up for an amazing year of learning as Trailblazers! Read on for this week's announcements. Next week we will begin running our regular schedule and start the first unit of every subject. Here is our weekly schedule . This is subject to change (and likely will change!) as we figure out what works and what does not work.  Next week we will start sending home a daily planner, likely beginning on Tuesday or Wednesday. We're asking students to get parent signatures every night for the first quarter. If we feel it is no longer needed, we'll stop requiring signatures after that (you are, of course, welcome to continue this expectation with your own child). We'll go over this thoroughly with the kids next week. Please let us know if you have any questions.  We'll start the fall MAP test ...

5th Grade Update

 It's Halloween week! 👻Today we reminded students to carry their costumes in their bags to school tomorrow if they'd like to wear one. We will change into them later in the afternoon, and they will need to be independent with their changing. Please no elaborate or gory make up or play weapons. We have some fun activities planned and a treat at the end of the day!🎃 Thank you to everyone for coming to conferences last week and for partnering in your students' learning. We also appreciate our camp chaperones--it was a great time at Camp Roger! See this  Google Drive folder  for pictures we've taken or received so far. Email us if you took a great photo on the field trip!🐾🍁 From Mrs. Gillies: Today I talked with students about problem solving at home when they're studying, etc. and have questions. While Covid learning times are over, and materials may not always be available online, they came up with great ideas, such as texting a friend, using online resources💻 su...
