Smart Watches

We have noticed that more and more of our students have begun wearing smartwatches to school, so we want to take a minute to be clear about expectations for those devices. 

Students are not permitted to communicate on their personal devices during the school day. (The same rule applies to their iPads.) This includes parents. Additionally, smartwatches are only to be used to tell time during the day. Please help us in reinforcing this expectation.  If you need to contact your son/daughter during the day, please email your child's teacher or call the front office. 

We have talked about these expectations with the students. We've let them know that if they are using their smart watch, cell phone, or other personal devices to communicate (or use any additional feature beyond telling time), they will receive one warning. After that one warning, we will ask for those devices to stay at home.

April 11th

What are we learning?

Math Workshop - In Math, learners will partition objects into equal parts and name the parts, including halves, fourths, and eighths. Learners will tell a classmate how an object is partitioned into fractional parts. Learners will also explain that the more fractional parts used to make a whole, the smaller the part; and the fewer the fractional parts, the larger the part. Learners will also use models to count fractional parts beyond one whole using words and recognize how many parts it takes to equal one whole.

Reading Workshop - In Reading, learners will continue book clubs using the mentor text Sable and respond to questions using evidence from the text.

Each Thursday we go to the library to read. Make sure to bring your books back so you can return and check out new books each week! 

Writing Workshop- In writing, learners will raise the quality of their writing by adding details, editing, and revising their writing.

Social Studies- In Social Studies, learners will continue to trace the development of a product from a natural resource to a finished product.

Science - In Science, learners will identify the parts of a plant and describe the purpose they serve.
