Thank you for ALL your effort and for always trying your very best!  You guys are doing a fantastic job in school and I thank you so much!  Remember to keep up with your RAZKIDS for reading and MATHLETICS for extra Math support.  Keep up the EXCELLENT work and enjoy your break =;)

Parent Teacher Conferences

Good morning everyone,

A great big, "THANK YOU" to all the students and families who were able to attend our Parent Teacher Conferences this past Thursday evening and Friday morning.  I greatly appreciate you taking the time to hear all the AMAZING work our students are doing as well as the areas we can work on/improve on (much like Mr. Engel who continues to work on his spelling - we all have areas to improve on).  Thank you for all your SUPPORT and EFFORT in helping our students be even more SUCCESSFUL - they are doing wonderful things at school and I am very PROUD of their efforts!  Keep up the great work and always try your very best - YOU CAN DO IT! =;)

Enjoy your long weekend and we only have next week before we have our Spring Break.  Please continue to work on your RAZKIDS for reading support and MATHLETICS for math support.  It is also a great idea to read with your child in order to help with their decoding (sounding out of words) and asking them questions about their reading (using the 5Ws as questions - reading comprehension).

Thank you again for all your time and effort in supporting the learning of our FANTASTIC students!  You guys ROCK! =;)

Your teacher,

Mr. Engel

PS. Don't forget to change your clocks this Sunday, March 13th - Daylight Saving Time Begins

Good afternoon students and families,

I wanted to first begin by sending out a GREAT BIG "Thank you" to our amazing Parent Volunteers this past week.  Our Teacher's Pet on Exploring Liquids went extremely well thanks to your efforts and wonderful connections with our students - they truly enjoyed themselves and learned a great deal from you while teaching your center to them!  Thank you so much for your time and effort!  =;)

Below are some pictures from our Teacher's Pet this past week - see if you can remember what was being taught during these 4 different centers:

Science Experiments - Insulation Projects:

Social Studies Group Work - Natural Resources on each of our 3 communities:

Calendar Work:

Math Centers - learning Math using a variety of fun learning activities:

Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for working so hard!  You guys are doing amazing work and always try your very best!  =;)

Your teacher,

Mr. Engel
