Weekly Update - January 11 - 15

WEEK RECAP:

Welcome back! It showed that everyone had a refreshing and relaxing winter break, because the kiddos came back ready to learn on Monday. On Thursday we had a hat day to raise money for the flooding victims in our district.  I am sooo proud of these Concord kiddos and their generous hearts!  We collected over $100 in our classroom, $4,314 from all of Concord, and $9, 773 as a district!  Awesome job!

A LOOK AHEAD:

• In reading we are continuing to focus on researching, and using more than one text to get the information we need. 
• In math we are finishing our chapter on multiplication and division, and will take our test on Thursday.
• In Science, we are learning more about Ecosystems and Habitats.  We will also learn waht producers and consumers are, as well as omnivores, carnivores, and herbivores.
• In writing, we are learning to write a thesis statement to support an opinion that we have.  We will begin writing a persuasive speech to support our opinion.  We will be using research to help us.
• Spelling tests will be next week.  Your child's specific test date was included on the purple note that came home with their spelling sorts on Tuesday, Jan. 5th.  If you are not sure when your child's test is, please let me know.

IMPORTANT INFO & DATES:

  This Thursday, Jan. 14, Lindbergh Schools will send an invitation text message to all parents inviting you to sign up for important text notifications from the district and Dr. Moehlmann. You must reply YES to the invitation message in order to receive future text notifications. This will replace Remind 101 for building-level text messages, so it is important to reply YES, in order to continue receiving notifications. The district will also use text messaging for emergency districtwide notifications or school closures (ex. snow days). For more information, please visit go.lindberghschools.ws and click "School Messenger" under the Parents tab.
