Parents…what a wonderful first three days of school we have had! This is just a reminder that a lot of paperwork has been sent home in the last couple of days. Please make sure that you get that completed and turned in. Also, if you have not finished the scrapbook page about your child, please get that to me as soon as possible. The kids have really enjoyed sharing these with their classmates and I want all of the kids to have this opportunity.  Also, it is important that you check your child’s folder each night for important papers and sign their planner. 🙂  Thanks for all you do and I can’t wait to get to know your kiddo even better.

Introducing Mrs. Saccoccio’s 2012 / 2013 class.  What a great group of kiddos!  I can’t wait for us to do a lot of fun things together and learn lots of neat stuff.

Well the 2012/2013 school year is quickly approaching.  I can’t wait to meet my group of smiling faces.  Just FYI…Pre-K and kindergarten round-up are August 9, 2012 from 9 – 12:00 and from 1 – 4:00.  This is also the day of registration for anyone who is new to the district.  Registration for all returning students is August 14, 2012 from 9 – 12:00 and 1 – 4:00.  Remember that all students must provide a current proof of residency (utility bill or lease agreement) before they can register.  Registration is at the elementary gym.

Today we  read several books .  We did adding and subtracting.  We had to figure out which one to do using clue words like how many more or in all.  We read Babushka’s Doll  and started a story about one of our toys coming to life!

What an exciting day we had today!  We rotated through all the teachers for a day of Thanksgiving fun in each subject.  In Saccoccio’s Sensational Science class, we learned about Sir Isaac Newton and his Laws of Inertia.  We performed many experiments that hopefully the kids will go home and share with their families for thanksgiving.

WOW…Is it November already????  In reading, we have begun a study of Doreen Cronin books and will continue that into next week.  We are working on skills such as fact and opinion, sequencing, and main ideas.  In math, we are continuing to work on adding with regrouping.  We will have our test over this next week.  In writing, we have been working on how-to papers.  We will start working on writing persuasive papers next.  In science, we are learning about the states of matter.

Parents – Don’t forget that Xtra Math is a great site to increase your child’s math fluency.  Helping your child to really master their math facts whether with this site, with flashcards, or with some other means will help them soar in math.
