LIBRARY
Thank you so much to everyone that created a Storybook Pumpkin! The pumpkins were fantastic and demonstrated our school’s love for reading!
Students this week enjoyed learning about Aaron Reynolds and listening to his “creepy” stories!
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
This week in PE we started the week playing an invasion game called trick or treat and zombie tag. We are now beginning our throwing and catching unit by playing catch with a variety of balls with a partner.
KINDERGARTEN
This week, we are discussing tools that we use and we read the story The Handiest Things in the World! We are working to make connections to our topic by discussing tools and how we use them to discover the world around us. We practiced reading the sight word “a” and began to read simple sentences using the words we have learned. We learned the vowels Ii and Uu and are working hard to identify middle sounds. In math, students are working on numbers 6 and 7. We had an amazing time at our Halloween Parade and we had so much fun working on Halloween activities! We also got to experience our very first Fun Run!!! We had an amazing week!
GRADE 1
What a week it has been at AES! The students excitedly celebrated the end of October with the school’s Harvest Parade and enjoyed the sense of community as they saw their friends and teachers of different grade levels. The students also proudly ran in the Annual Fun Run where they raised money for school activities and materials. Thank you to the PTO for organizing and running the event! This week in ELA we answered the question of the week, “What do friends do together?”. The children read stories about how friends play all over the world and also wrote about their favorite activities to do with their own friends. In Math, students worked on Number Bonds, Fact Families and Word Problems. Students are now looking forward to Open House on November 8th.
GRADE 2
It was a great week in 2nd grade! Halloween Fun on Tuesday and the Fun Run on Thursday. It’s hard to believe that it is already November! In reading this week we started Unit 2 in Wonders and we are reading nonfiction passages to go with our essential question “How are offspring like their parents?” Our phonics strategy is long and short o. In math we are practicing our addition and subtraction facts in word problems. We are looking forward to meeting everyone at Open House next week!
GRADE 3
Third graders have had an exciting week with halloween math activities on Tuesday and our Fun Run on Thursday! In math, most classes have been wrapping up Unit One with fact families and patterns. Students are also working on their Unit 1 Assessment. This week we have started Unit Two in our Wonders reading program. We will be reading expository texts and learning how people make our government work. We hope to see everyone at our open house next week, on Wednesday, November 8th 5-7pm. Have a great weekend! Don’t forget to turn your clocks back by one hour!
Nurse’s Nook:
Food Allergies are serious and manageable if we all work together to keep allergens away from those affected. Page 5 of our handbook notes Family Responsibility and School Responsibility. Classrooms can remain a safe place if all members are mindful. Having a special treat in class makes all celebrations extra special. Let's work together to be sure all are able to enjoy together.
AES has a food policy regarding special treats in class: Any and All treats brought into the classroom need a signed permission slip from the guardian allowing the student to consume. If one student is unable or not allowed, then the whole class is not allowed. *Being Inclusive is the Goal*
Our school is Peanut Safe. But classrooms and snacks should be peanut/nut free, since the areas are shared, using desktops, etc.
