Northeast State Locations and Capitals

On Wednesday I sent home flashcards to help the students practice the Northeast capitals and the locations.  Today we went over the location of each state and ways to help them identify them on a blank map.  We will be taking the test on February 20th.  You can help your child by quizzing them at home.  They learned a song in music class to help them with the capitals but the locations can be challenging.  

Field Trip to the Elgin Symphony

A field trip slip went home today about the Elgin Symphony field trip.  We will be going on Thursday, April 12, 2018, however, we need to collect the money now so that we can purchase the tickets.  They are due by February 9th.  

If you are interested in chaperoning, fill out the form.  We will be putting all interested parent's names in a hat and selecting one to go with us.

Arlington Heights Public Library Visit

Today we were so lucky to have Julie Jergens from the Arlington Heights Memorial Library come and do a book talk with the class.  Students were also able to check out books.  Don't forget that if your child checked out a book it needs to be returned to the Arlington Heights Memorial Library not to school.

Fantastic Event

On Thursday, we had a wonderful time at the PTA sponsored assembly!  The students had a wonderful time hearing songs, seeing magic, and learning valuable lessons about being kind and good citizens!
