Week 4

From the class bloggers: By Yuan and Heidi

This week was very difficult because of all the tests like English, Science, and 

 Religion. Aidan and Nicky came back to school finally after two weeks. We 

also got to eat ice cream and it was very delicious. This week was the second 

week of sports which includes Volleyball, Soccer, and Cross Country. It was 

very hot this week outside. We learned alot this week and we are so excited 

for the next week to come.

 

From Mrs. R.:

 

Thanks to our generous PTL for the special ice cream treats this week!  

 

We continue to work on organization skills, cleaning out binders at the end of the week, using our planner to record work, pack our bag, check off when things are done, etc. There is even a "notes" column for students to write things like "piano lesson today" or "bring soccer uniform."  The biggest challenge is long range planning (assigned on Monday, due Thursday)  We are growing stronger in these lifelong skills!
