Good evening Owl Families! 

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week! Here is an update on what is happening with the Outstanding Owls the next couple of weeks! This week we are focusing on Matter in science! We are doing many hands-on activities and investigations to learn all about Matter. We are also learning about story elements such as the beginning, middle, and end of a story! We will be finishing up our personal narratives this week so our Owl Authors can publish their first writing piece! In math we are reviewing the differing values of the U.S. coins and slowly  moving into money word problems up to one dollar. 

Next week is a busy week for us!We have a two hour teacher collaboration day next Thursday the 22nd! We have one parent volunteer but will be needing one more. This will be an Adventures in Art day!  On Friday we have our In House Fire Safety Field Trip as well as our STEAM project! I just posted an important notice from the PTA about our upcoming STEAM Day. All donations are welcomed! If you have not already sent in the permission forms for the Fire Safety Field Trips, please send them in as soon as possible! I will also be sending home permission slips for our upcoming High Touch High Tech field trips tomorrow, so keep an eye out for those. As always our spelling test for this week will be tomorrow.

Please continue to review sight words, math facts, and word problems at home! You can also start studying the values of the U.S. coins! 

Thank you to all of the families and parents of the Outstanding Owls for all of your support! A special thanks to all of my parent volunteers who  helped with our Creek and Cherokee field trip,volunteered during Math Lab, as well as those who have been coming in on Fridays to lend a helping hand! I could not ask for a more supportive class!
