Mrs. Vella is our music teacher. She comes into our classroom on Monday and Tuesday for our music class. In these pictures, we were listening to some music and moving our scarves according to some special directions. It was a lot of fun!


We have also been practicing our behavior in and outside of our classroom. We know that when we are in the hallway we need to walk quietly in a line. Each day a different student is our line leader.

Our Skill for Learning lesson this week was about focusing attention. To succeed in school, students need to be able to ignore distractions while focusing their attention. We learned that some special words help remind us that we need to focus our attention. We may hear a teacher/parent say, "look carefully", "listen", or "focus" when we need to really pay attention to directions or new information.

Our Curriculum Night is Thursday, Sept. 13 at 6:45. I hope to see many of you there! Ms. Momeni and I will also be starting our Parent Support Group Meetings again this year. I will give you a list of dates - we will meet on four Thursdays from 6:30 to 7:30. The dates for our meetings are:
