We did it!





We made it through our first week with flying colors!  The first week of school is a lot of procedures and assessments which can be BORING (not to mention the heat and humidity)!  All obstacles aside, I am proud of the great attitudes and hard work I witnessed.  Thanks for your support at home as we are all adapting to the school year.

Typically in this update I will include what we did in class according to subject area.  This week we spent most of our time getting to know the classroom, procedures, and each other.  Keep a look out for subject-specific information next week.

I'm sure you have heard all about our school's big event, "Color the Park."  More information is at the end of this post, including important dates. 

If you would like to pull out more information about our week from your student, here are some prompts:

- What did Mr. Peabody do to show Tommy the power of his words (from the book, Mr. Peabody's Apples)?

- Name one or two "I will" statements that we will have in our class contract?

- Show me the motions to the rule, "Make Smart Choices."

- What is this year's theme for our school and what did Mr. Field do to help us learn about it?

Color the Park
Color the Park is a fun, 1.5 mile course in which families can walk, or run while having color powder tossed on them throughout the course!
This is our main fundraiser for the students. We are encouraging family participation! The walk/run will begin at 6pm, and there will be food available to purchase at 5pm. We will have raffle prizes and an auction.
The event takes place at Hughes Park and Park Elementary.
The following promo video can be accessed on you tube:
