Hi families!

I would like to remind you that this Friday, December 1, is a PJ Day at Northern Lights School! Your child can wear a clean pair of pajamas to school. This will start off all of our December Spirit Days!


We created our own sentences using pictures for writing. Ask me what picture I wrote about!



We went to the Makerspace with Mrs. Ishii's class! We used the Code Mice and Codapillars to make our migrating animals travel! We had so much fun with this that we want to do it again next week.



We started learning about how to identify the core of a pattern and translate it into a pattern rule! We have been working so hard on our patterns. Ask me how I challenged myself today!

Thursday, June 27th  is our school-wide PLAY DAY and EARLY DISMISSAL! As we will be outside, students should dress for the weather, bring a water bottle, and come with sunscreen already applied (teachers cannot help with this task). We will be celebrating Play Day by having Freezies! If you do not want your child to have a school-provided Freezie on this day, please email me as soon as possible and send an alternative treat to school for your child to enjoy. We will be finished school this day at 1:05 p.m. as it is an early dismissal day! Our theme for Play Day this year is... Dress like a SUPERHERO!

We learned about how to put the bigger number first and how to use different strategies to help us solve the questions. Our learning in Science: We started learning about the needs of plants and animals this week!  We focused on what are living things and non-living things are and how to sort them.
