Dear Families,
This week we will start Bear Share (sharing). Please see our class website for your child’s share date and assignment. Your child should be prepared to share their sentence or item. For sentences, students may write it down and I can help them if they forget. For items, we ask students to prepare to share 3 simple clues describing their item. In turn, they will get to choose 3 students to guess before revealing their share.
A lot of new activities this week!
Library visits will start on Monday for our class.
Music class with Mr. Kevin will start on Tuesday.
Mileage Club will start on Monday the 10th. Mileage Club is on Mondays and Fridays during lunchtime. This is a great way for students to talk with friends and exercise at the same time. There are some rewards along the way for laps walked on the field.
We will also have our first visit to the Makerspace Lab on Monday!
If your child would like to buy lunch from the cafeteria, the fee is $3.50. Each student in our school has an account and if you’d like to add money to his or her account online, you will need your child’s student ID. If you need that number, send me a quick email and I’ll be happy to get it for you.
Tonight, the AVHSC will host Back To School Movie Night! Located on the large field. Featuring, Coco. Admission is free and the whole family is welcome (no dogs please.) Feel free to bring a picnic dinner and there will also be some concessions opening at 6:00pm. The movie starts about 7:30pm. *No Bikes or Scooters Allowed. ***It’s a good idea to have a meeting spot in case you get separated in the dark.***
Have a wonderful weekend.

Language Arts: Sequence of events in a story. We continue to review consonants sounds in Phonics. Review proper use of upper/lowercase letters and end marks to sentences.
