Welcome to our first week at Cranston!

Hello Parents & Students,

Well, we made it through the first week of school with some great learning lots of fun.  We have been doing some fun “getting to know you” activities to build a classroom community of peace.

Students challenged themselves to sort objects and explain their sorting rule, as well as gathering personal data to make several graphs.  Please ask your child what graphs we created during our math time.

Cooperative and tag games were popular during physical education throughout the week.  Ask your child about some of the games they played.

We have begun our Daily 5 program with building our reading stamina with a class challenge. Students, how long can you read at home following our good choices for reading to self?

Our grade 1 & 2s have been writing about their feelings on the first day of school and what they did during the first week, in addition to, what they did over the summer.

If you have not already done so, please return any and all forms in your child’s communication folder.

Information regarding the home programs Mathletics and Razkids will be forwarded soon.

We welcome parent volunteers into room 51 this year.  Any time that you can give us would be greatly appreciated.  Please let us know if you would like to come in to our classroom to help and when you would be available.

In-line skating begins next week and we will need some parent volunteers to assist students us with equipment.  Please let us know if you are available to volunteer for any of these dates.  Please be aware that all volunteers must have a security clearance.
