The students and residents of Buckingham South had a wonderful time together last Thursday! Research has shown that children and seniors benefit mentally and physically from interacting with each other. We ended the trip with a picnic lunch in the Ellis Peace Garden.

Field Trips

A packet of field trip forms went home with students. Most of them have been signed and returned! If you haven't done that yet, please do it as soon as possible. 2nd graders have a district reading pep rally on Tuesday and the whole community will be headed to Buckingham South retirement home to sing for the residents on Thursday. The children took home song sheets on Friday and should practice singing at home.

Fall Conferences

As we wrap up fall family observations we are happy to begin fall conferences. We are looking forward to meeting and discussing classroom observations, academics, and grace and courtesy with families. Please sign up for a time that suits you. Tuesday conferences can be virtual or in person, please note your preference on the chart, and a link will be sent out to those that prefer Zoom.  The rest will be in person. We are looking forward to meeting with everyone! Please use this link if you have not signed up yet.

The Learning Community

Weekly Math Fact Practice

Students will be tested weekly, beginning Tuesday, and will move through the operations at their own pace. These skills help kids advance when multidigit arithmetic, fractions, and long division enter the picture, allowing them to focus on more complex problem-solving instead of simple computation.

Fall Festival

The PTA Fall Festival will be Friday, October 20th from 5:30-7pm and we need need your help! If you are able to volunteer your time, please sign up at this link.

Family Observations

We will wrap up Fall classroom observations this week. Thank you to all the families who have observed in our community! Our goal is to provide a loving, respectful, and supportive environment in which children will blossom. There are clipboards with observation checklists at the entrance of Room 29. Please take one and use it to help guide your observation. Upon entrance to the classroom, please quietly find the observation chair and have a seat. We ask that you stay seated in the observation chair and try not to engage the children in conversation. If a child asks who you are or what you’re doing in the class, a polite “Hello, I’m ____. I’m here to watch you and your friends work.” is appropriate. If you haven't done so already, please use this link to schedule a classroom observation. We look forward to seeing you!
