SLT Inauguration Day

Science Lab

This week we visited the Science Lab. We finished our unit on Matter. Students were able to see how matter can change states. Here are some pictures from our visit.

SLT and Leader of the Month

I am so proud of all of our students who ran for SLT!  They did an outstanding job with creating their posters and sharing their speeches. They really are TRUE leaders and anyone of them would've have made an excellent SLT member. Here are a few pictures from the students sharing the posters and reading their speeches.

Our SLT winner was Abigail and our runner up for SLT is Isaac! Way to go! We are so proud of you!!

During the month of September our focus has been on Habit #1- Be Proactive. We have talked about what being Proactive means and that having an "I Can" attitude is important. When choosing our Leader of the Month for October, students nominated their peers if they felt that had been proactive during the month. Our chosen Leader of the Month for October is Charlotte!! Way to go!!

I hope everyone has a restful and relaxing Fall Break. I look forward seeing the students when we return in October. 

Classroom Update: September 5-9

This past week we began learning about the making tens strategy. Students are using this strategy to help them add numbers to 20. Here is a picture of the strategy and how it should be used. We will be working on one step word problems and becoming fluent with our facts to 20 as well. 

Foundation Funding Drive

The Foundation Funding Drive has been extended through September 16.  This is the Foundation's largest fundraiser for the year to help continue to keep our Science Lab going as well as provide other enrichment for the students and resources for Addison.  

There will be a classroom competition! The class with the highest % of participation by 9/9 will win an ice cream party! (right now, Mrs. Gillenwater is in 1st place)

The top two classes participating in the Drive in each grade level will receive an iPad, too!!  A percentage of the funds raised also comes directly into our classroom.

Don't forget...

When we hit $20,000, Mrs. Hallmark and Mr. Cohen will spend some time up on the roof for all to see!!!

When we hit $25,000, they will KISS A PIG!!

When we hit $30,000, the kids will get to tape Mrs. Hallmark and Mr. Cohen to the WALL. 

Please support us in this effort! Visit www.foundation4addison.org for details.
