    Literacy Theme – What kinds of challenges do people face and how do they meet them?

    Dear parents / guardians,

    We are off to a wonderful start to the school year reviewing Guiding Principles and getting to know each other! We read together “The Sense of a Goose.” Please ask your child what geese do when they fly and how this relates to building our class community. We are a group of kind, responsible, hard working, and fun learners! Many thanks to all for the effort in completing first week paperwork! This week a Parent Survey will come home with your child. Please answer the questions and return. Please note my email below and feel free to contact me anytime. It is extremely helpful for me to know about my students’ lives in order to teach in more meaningful ways and engage them in learning. Parents and teachers working together make a strong supportive team for our young learners! To see our Units of Study overview go to our school blog at the following link and click on 5th grade. http://www.oakgroveschoolvt.com/ I look forward to a wonderful year working together!

    Sincerely, Karen DiIorio-Bowen, kdiiorio-bowen@wsesu.org

“Meeting Challenges” - Question of the week - How do people survive in the wilderness? Dear parents / guardians, We are settling into our routines our first full week of school. We continue to talk about and notice students practicing Guiding Principles as we build a safe, respectful classroom for all. Our days are busy! In math, students in 5th grade are working hard multiplying and dividing by powers of 10, calculating metric conversions, and comparing and rounding decimals. In literacy we are reading about different types of challenges people face and how they respond to them. We began a social studies unit called “We Care” and are learning about empathy and noticing how others express different feelings. Students are reading with first graders on Friday afternoons and will soon be assigned a special buddy for the year! Have a lovely week!   Events: Open House - New Date is Sept. 28 - 5:30-6:30   Sincerely, Karen DiIorio-Bowen, kdiiorio-bowen@ws...

Students are working hard and are engaged in their learning! As you may know, the latest brain research reveals that hard work can grow our brains! In social studies we began a unit called “We Care.” Along with Kathryn Mason, our school counselor, we are exploring healthy vs. unhealthy relationships. We are getting to know one another and are working together to build a kind, safe, respectful, responsible, and of course fun classroom community - we are on our way!

In math students are exploring our place value system by multiplying and dividing by powers of 10. Many thanks for getting parent surveys in! They are d...
