Updates

Approaching a New Month…

Dear Readers,
I was experiencing some technical difficulties in updating the Willow Glen Blog.  These have been resolved, and we are up and running again.  Continue to look for weekly school postings.  This information serves as a tool for being apprised of K-3 happenings!
Thanks for your patience J

Parent/Teacher Conferences
Thank you to all parents who participated in parent teacher conferences these past 2 weeks.  Parent-teacher conferences are an opportunity to establish better communication between parents and teachers.  Through the grading and reporting process, you were provided with information about your child’s progress, and had a venue to ask questions and learn more about grade level programming.  We hope that you found this to be a rewarding experience.
Classroom News
K4 – The students will be starting a new unit in “Transportation”.  They will also be asked to sign-in when they enter the classroom each day.  This serves as authentic  practice in writing their first names…An important K4 skill!!!!
K5 – The kindergartners finished their second “All About” book.  They are working hard at publishing these books, using the computers.
Grade 1 – First graders are beginning a new unit on Space.  They will also be starting fairy tales and preparing persuasive book reviews, aligned to the genre.
Grade 2 – Students are busy publishing their persuasive papers and are ready to learn about saving and spending in Social Studies.
Grade 3 – Third graders completed the process of sharing their book reviews.  They will be learning about biographies in the coming weeks.

Once again, the staff appreciates the wonderful partnerships that they have formed with each of you.  Working together benefits our students, and sends a message that we all care and love our kids!
