November 28th

Welcome back from Thanksgiving Break!
We have three weeks to accomplish a lot before the next break! Please mark your calendars for our Author's Celebration on Tuesday, December 13th at 8:30. The children are working hard in their writer's workshop and will be happy to share their stories with you!
A couple other reminders...
*The Holiday Gift Drive takes place November 28-December 9. A container is placed outside of our classroom to collect holiday gifts. On Friday, December 9 the students will carry the gifts to the gym to be sorted by family. This is a heartwarming experience for everyone involved!
*Report cards will be posted online through NetClassroom. A letter explaining this was sent home with your child today. If you have questions about this, please contact me, Mrs. Weinman, or Dr. Bianco.


We completed our unit on Native Tribes of Florida. We will begin learning about early explorers. We are also in the midst of a science unit involving motion and design. The children are having fun making their "cars".




Wishing you all a wonderful week!

Happy Monday Everyone!



What a fun day we had last Friday! Poetry in the Park was so much fun! Please save your "Camp Mitchell" t-shirts. I'm sure we will wear them again later this year.

This week we will have our vocabulary quizzes on Wednesday. We will have our usual spelling test on Friday. This week's spelling words are all compound words.

I want to let you know another important date...Tuesday, December 13th, we will have an Author's Celebration to celebrate the writing that has been going on in class. Please plan to join us at 8:30 a.m.

We are busy learning much about multiplication and division in our math lessons. It would be helpful for your child to memorize these facts through 12.

We are also beginning a new science unit this week about Motion and Design. This correlates very well to our Lego Robotics study in the computer lab. It is wonderful to watch them work together to problem solve!

Wishing you all a wonderful week as well as a Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello Everyone!



Please enjoy the slideshow of pictures showing our simple machines project. The children did a wonderful job creatively demonstrating at least one simple machine!

Due to the shortened week and Poetry in the Park this Friday, we will not have a spelling test. The vocabulary quizzes are moved to next Wednesday.

We hope to see you all this Friday at 8:30!
Have a wonderful week!
