What We Have Been Doing:
Math- We are looking for patterns using the 100 number grid in math this week. We are also continuing to work on adding and subtracting using the numberline. We will review the basic concepts of telling time and learn to tell time by the half-hour.
Theme- This week we will present our Africa projects. We will also learn the differences between the 5 animal groups. (Birds, Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles and Mammals) We will take a closer look at Fish at the end of the week.

Parent Survey- Debbie Capra has been working with the school community as an independent consultant to help improve the Stargate environment. She is hired to be a confidential third party resource for the staff and parents. My experience with her has been positive. She has shown that her main concern is to listen and help us. Ms. Capra is asking all parents to fill out a survey and have their voices heard. It is very important to have the participation of all families in this survey so that we can accurately assess the strengths and areas that need attention in the Stargate community. In order to fill out the surveys, go online to the Stargate website click on About Stargate then Leadership then Governance Board at the bottom of the page is the link to the survey. If it is easier for you there is a computer station available in the school library. We need all your voices heard!

Book Fair- This week is the Book Fair. We went to visit the book fair this morning. There are some wonderful books to purchase. Each teacher has made a wish list, so if you would like to purchase books for the classroom you can come by and see what we would like. Every book that is purchased helps raise money for books for the school library. This is also a great opportunity to look through the books that are in our book orders.
