We have started working with money!  Please allow your children to count your spare change and quiz them on their pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters.  We will be introducing dollar bills in the coming week!  Money is a very important subject for our students and they need to be practicing at school and at home.

Science, Health, Social Studies: Currently we are learning about maps and globes.  In addition, we are learning the seven continents! To help learn the continents, the students were taught a new song.  Please ask your child to sing the song and review the continents with them.  They were given the words to the song so you can sing along too! We will also be talking about North America.  This will include it's location on the earth, the location of Georgia, and the different landforms found in our country.

Accelerated Reader (AR):  We are working on our new AR goals! Please make sure you child is reading every night.  If your child needs to take care of any business with the library, please do so ASAP! They can not check out books until all overdue books are returned and fines are paid.

Mrs. Dudley our counselor came and spoke with us about random acts of kindness. Please talk with your children about this important topic.
