The Toucan Squawk, Mar. 25 - Mar. 29

Hello families!  We have been working on prefixes and suffixes in writing.  We had to take an extra week because last week proved to be a little tough for the majority of the class.  While we're working through that, the class has started and are almost finished working on their writing craft- turning into a bunny!  The crafts are coming out pretty cute, and will be posted on the wall soon.  I provided the story starter, and then the creative writing process was unleashed from there.  Really cute and creative stories have been invented!

In math, we have been working on missing addends (the numbers used to add to get the sum).  We'll be finishing that on Friday- but I will be doing some intervention groups next week.  The use of Accelerated Math has come into great use this week- the students have gone back to the beginning of the year standards to help them review for standarized testing.  Crazily enough, the test is coming up super soon!  I'll post some helpful at-home tips soon.

Tomorrow is picture day!  The students will be taking pictures in the morning at 9:30.

Students took home a couple pieces of mail on Monday.  The first is a yellow page.  It's a survey for parents and to invite you to an upcoming meeting regading the charter school flip for the coming school year.  The second is a blue page.  This is your child's spring registration form.  If you have not done so, please fill this out and return it as soon as possible.  Even if you are not sure whether your child is returning to PdS next year, please fill it out and return it anyways.  That way, there will immediately be a "slot" for your child whether they are returning it or not.  This form is due April 5, but the earlier is always best.
