Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all our students and their families. We hope your break was restful and that you enjoyed the time off of school.
We are right back into the swing of things in class. We will be starting a new reading unit, and the kids are writing up a storm everyday. We are also starting an Winter Olympics unit and will be focusing on Multiple Intelligences. In math we are continuing our study of fractions; comparing them , doing word problems with them, and even adding and subtracting them. The kids are excited about the culture study we are doing in social studies. Each student has been placed in a different group and will be studying a culture and how that group of people has had an impact on America. Then they will be presenting what they have learned in the class. (Don't worry, this is an in class project. Students are allowed to gather information at home or the local library, but they are not required to.) Lastly, it is Science Expo time again. You should have received a packet about what is expected for the project as well as a timeline outlining when different parts of the project are due. We are really excited to see what each child chooses to do for their project.
Our students in our class continually keep us laughing and learning. Thank you for sharing your children with us. We enjoy having each one of them in our class!

Way to go ASH Class!

We are so proud of our students for thinking about more than just themselves over the Halloween weekend. Many of the ASH kids took on the challenge to "Trick or Treat for UNICEF" during the weekend. We raised $100 for kids in need! That is enough to to provide 40 kids with school supplies, and clean water for 166 thirsty kids! WOW!!!!!!! We probably wont know exactly what our money will go toward, but we know it will help kids just like ours. Thank you for your support!

Attention All Parents!


Just a quick reminder...

We are looking for "Awesome Attendance" this year, not "Perfect Attendance". Please do not send your child to school if s/he is sick. Especially if s/he has a fever. We have had several kids come to school not feeling well. If they are at school, they are not able to rest and get better quickly. Plus, they put the rest of the class (including teachers) at risk for becoming sick as well.

Thank you for your consideration!
