Students in Mr. Douglas' fourth grade class used a hands-on approach this week while strengthening their understanding of fractions. Well done young learners!
One of my goals this year is to visit each classroom at least once per term and read to students. I started off Term II reading We're All Wonders by R. J. Palacio. I am challenging all students and staff to 'choose kind' each day.

On a visit to Ms. Bertschmann's fifth grade class this week, students were involved in great discussions about intrinsic/extrinsic motivation and how they connect to characters in their independent reading books.

| Thanks to Anna in Ms. Condon's class for reading today's book recommendation. Anna recommended The Green Glass House by Kate Milford for "people who like mysteries and excitement" because "it is full of surprise, and from the very beginning you'll be wondering what's going to happen next." Anna rated this book 5 stars! Thanks Anna! |
As a reminder, next Thursday, 2/1 will be an early release day. Students will be dismissed at 11:40 a.m. Staff will be involved in professional development focused on the new Next Generation Science Standards.
