Mrs. Goniwiecha 2022-2023

                                                       We are going to the Planetarium on Tuesday, the 14th, right after PE. Snack time will be later, so please make sure your child has a good breakfast before school. This is always a favorite trip for the kids and we're so lucky that we only have to travel to Upton.  In SEL this week, we did an activity similar to cup stacking. The kids absolutely loved it! If you have any extra solo cups lying around, we will gladly take them off your hands to use for touchdown rewards and indoor recess. Thank you!  For those of you who are interested in having your child work on math at home, last week we did unit 6/lessons 7-11. This week we will be covering unit 6/lessons 12-16. Practice using the IXL textbook would be beneficial to understanding this new concept of multiplying larger numbers. Report ...

                                                      For those of you who are interested in having your child work on math at home, last week we did unit 6 - lessons 1-3. This week we will be covering unit 6 - lessons 4 - 8. Practice using the IXL textbook would be beneficial to understanding this new concept of multiplying larger numbers. Friday is the last day of the 2nd trimester, so we will be wrapping up any necessary assessments and performing reader's theater plays. We will also have a read-in, so kids may wear comfy clothes and bring blankets. We will discuss Friday's plans during our class meeting tomorrow, so any changes will be in the student planners.    Please remember to schedule a time to conference with your child in the next couple of weeks at home. Let me know if your child needs the Chromebook for the conference and also let...
