Progress Report Narratives will go home today

A formal standards-based report card will go home in March and June.  At this time, the new common-core aligned report card for UES is not yet ready.  Because of this, teachers have written narrative progress reports which will go home on Friday, January 30th.  Please sign and return the envelope by February 4th.

Wrapping up our fiction stories

We have worked on writing realistic fiction since November, and are now working on revising and editing our work.  In the next few days, I will send home an invitation to our publishing party to celebrate the group's hard work!

change of shoes

Every Monday and Wednesday we have PE.  Many students have been forgetting to bring sneakers to school on those days.  Please remember to send your child with sneakers.

Also, now that the ground is covered in snow, it is really helpful to have a pair of "indoor" shoes for your child to change into everyday.  This helps us preserve the floors, and keep the school clean.  If able, just send in a pair of sneakers that can stay at school for the duration of the winter.

Thank you for your help.

Short, yet busy Week

Today we have a packed day that includes a PE field trip to Woodridge Nursing Home to perform a dance for the residents, and a "Tasty Testers" activity in the afternoon with a parent volunteer.  Students will learn about nutrition and sample various types of pumpkin to give input that may influence what gets served in the cafeteria.

Tomorrow afternoon we will have our 1000 Hoot celebration.  Students chose to have an ice cream party with stuffed animals and a movie.  Please send in snacks and G-Rated movies for the event.  

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday school will be closed for Thanksgiving break.  I hope that families enjoy a relaxing and safe holiday break.
