Dear Families,

Our class did a great job with their Maine Through the Year assessment last week. Students were quiet and respectful so that everyone could focus and everyone gave their best effort, which was wonderful to witness. On Wednesday we will have one more session which is designed to allow students extra time to finish the assessment if needed.

On Thursday morning I will send out an invite through REACH MY TEACH to sign up for fall parent / teacher conferences. Conferences run about 20 minutes and are geared towards giving you an overview on your child’s work. Throughout the Cape Elizabeth School District, conferences will be offered on Thursday, November 5th from 12:30 - 7:00 and on Friday, November 6th from 8:00 - 12:30. You will be able to choose to meet me in person in our classroom or virtually via Google Meets. I look forward to meeting with each of you and celebrating your child’s accomplishments and establishing  goals for the months ahead.

Warmly,

Sarah

Dear Families,

You will notice that I have not assigned much homework this week, this is because we have our Maine Through the Year Assessments on Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday we will be doing the math portion of the test, on Thursday we will do the reading section. Next week we will have an additional day in case students need to finish either (or both) sections. 

In addition to our testing, we will be finishing our first literacy unit “Classic Tales.” Our class has enjoyed reading The Wind in the Willows and Alice in Wonderland. Be sure to ask your child about their favorite characters and their favorite adventures within these stories. We have also finished our introductory math unit and are beginning the second that will focus on multi-digit addition and subtraction, as well as, beginning multiplication and division strategies.

I hope you are all enjoying the beginning of October, and Maine at its autumn finest. 

Warmly,

Sarah
