Welcome to 2012, and a Happy New Year. I hope that everyone enjoyed the Break.It sounds like many students had fun with trips to Orlando,Disney World, St.Louis, and visits from relatives. I had a wonderful break sitting at the pool and rafting on the lazy river.
I wanted to give a big thanks to Mrs.Khant and the "Kraff family" for the wonderful Holiday party.The party was really fun! The students loved their snack mix,and doughnuts, the games were fun . It was so nice to meet all of the grandparents that attended.My children loved to have my parents visit their classroom and it is a memory that they treasure and talk about today! I enjoyed the party and the wonderful gift card tree,and I am still having fun shopping with the cards.
Our curriculim this nine weeks is as follows:
Math
We will begin with fractions and then move to measurement. If your student has not learned all their math facts. Please encourage them to go on IXl , use flash cards, and play multiplication games. We will be teaching long division later in the year and these students start at a disadvantage ,not learning their facts.
Science
We are studying the plants and animals that live and grow in the regions of Georgia. We will also study the adaptations that allow these animals and plants survival. this is a very fun unit.Ask your student about Piedmont Crayfish and Mussels.
Social Studies
We are studying the following three historical figures: Franklin D.Roosevelt, Mary Bethune, and Eleanor Roosevelt.
