Happy Friday!

I was overjoyed and ecstatic to have your students in class this week and back from break! We have been busy!

New Information:

  • FIELD TRIP: Next Friday, October 21st, we will be going to Schnepf Farms for our first field trip of this year! Please send your students with a disposable lunch and water bottle so that we are able to throw it away there. Your student is required to take the bus so arrival and dismissal to the school will be the same. Only the students, teachers, and approved chaperones can attend. Due to Schnepf Farms policy, no family members are able to join the field trip. It does not open to the public until 1pm.
  • HALLOWEEN: Halloween is coming on Monday, October 31st. This will be a 1/2 day with dismissal at 11:00am. Per San Tan Charter School policy, NO costumes, sweets, or candy are allowed.
  • CLASSROOM VOLUNTEERS: Do you want to volunteer in the classroom or hang out with your student at lunch? I’d love to have you! Please sign up here. You must have your Fingerprint Clearance Card.

Past Newsletter Information:

  • HOMEWORK: We encourage all of our students to read for at least 20 minutes every night. I will also be assigning work that they can do at home (including: fun ELA & math games) on their Google Classroom. This is not required homework and can be worked on throughout the year. It is just additional practice and hopefully they will have some fun with the games. There is also a fun FREE math game called Prodigy that my students LOVED last year. There is also https://www.teachyourmonster.org/ which is a fun FREE ELA game.
  • WEEKLY NOTEBOOKS: I send home their work on Fridays. Please review it as I put notes on them and you can see what we are doing in class. Reach out if you ever have any questions.

This Week:

  • We:
    • began learning about fables and how animals in stories can teach us lesson. We read The Boy Who Cried Wolf & Wolf! Wolf! These are different versions of the same story and we talked about how stories from different perspectives change the meaning of the story.
    • continued learning double digit addition.
    • learned about rivers and how the main rivers in the US connect to the ocean.
    • had Art Masterpiece, where they created beautiful and colorful spider webs.

Next Week:

  • Our spelling words:
    • chop, catch, shape, trash, phone, that, sting, thin, bring, while, place, badge, seven, isn’t, early

School Information:

  • Please join our school’s Family Engagement Committee’s (FEC) Facebook page. Here you will find school wide events that are coming up and ways to volunteer at school. https://www.facebook.com/groups/620590539585576
  • Please remind your students to check the Lost and Found. We will be taking all remaining Recker campus Lost and Found items to GoodWill every Wednesday.
  • We are hosting our annual Cultural Fair at the Recker campus on November 7th from 9:00-1:30. We typically ask for parents to come in and volunteer to run a table based on your family’s culture. We would love for families to host a table to share artifacts, foods, and stories that reflect your family’s culture. This is such a fun and informative event for our elementary students. Here is our sign-up link and thank you so much for considering!  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0e45adac22abf94-cultural2
