First of all, I'd like to thank all of the room parents and volunteers who helped to make our Halloween parties so much fun for all of our students. Shown below are just a few of the clever costumes that the students wore.
Last Wednesday five East Hill students represented our school at the annual District Spelling Bee. Nicolo Benenati, Ella Kemp, Avery Reina, Payton Voss, and Lilliana Corrigan (all shown below) earned the right to participate based on their written test results.They all did a fantastic job! Nicolo made it to the top twelve which means that he will move on to the next round. Good luck Nico!
Last Thursday our third graders presented a wonderful assembly on Thankfulness, which is the November character education trait. They reminded us that we all have so much for which to be thankful.
Speaking of thankfulness, our 5th Grade Student Council, in conjunction with our PTA, is working on a thankfulness project. Hopefully you received a half-sheet of paper last Friday explaining this project. The fifth graders explained it to each class after leading the classes in their Fit Friday routine. We are hoping to provide ten East Hill families with a Thanksgiving meal this year. Each class has either been assigned a food item or a dollar or two to donate. The student council will sort all of the food into meal boxes, and the PTA will shop for the turkeys, rolls, and pies. Families can take their meal home with them when they come for parent conferences. Thank you in advance for helping us out with this project. If we could help your family out with a Thanksgiving meal this year, please let me know. We would really love to help.
This week's words of the day are
factor (M),
fluency (T),
democracy (Th), and
angry (F.) Please remember that there is no school this Wednesday in honor of Veterans Day, and also remember that school picture retakes and group photos are this Friday. Lastly, if you have children in grades K-3 and are interested in learning more about the different math strategies that your child is learning, please join us next Monday night, November 16th, from 6:30 - 7:15. Have a nice week!
