Mr. Slade’s Second Helpings

I want to take this time to apologize for the classroom Blog not being updated. I am going to have the students start updating the Blog as soon as we are trained on the new format. Please check back regularly.

Today in class we learned that all snowflakes have 6 points. No two snowflakes are the same. We then took paper and with folds and cuts made snowflakes with 6 points. None of our snowflakes were the same. We will share pictures soon.

Summer activities are slowing down and another school year is just around the corner. I hope to see all of my students on August 4th for our Open House. I'll be in the classroom from 5:30-7:00pm. This is going to be an unbelievable year!

 You may now access your child's grades through our parent portal. This lets you keep up with his/her progress. Grades will be updated by Monday. You have to come into the office to get your password. 

This group is really strong in math so we are going as quickly and covering concepts as deeply as we can go. Be sure to ask them what they are learning each day. When you talk about things at home it reinforces what we are learning at school!

 Be sure to vote tomorrow!

Our party will be this Friday from 2:00-2:45. We will enjoy some snacks and watch a movie!

• Field trip is this Thursday. Please send in money no later than Wednesday.
• Fall Festival is this Saturday. We still need cards/certificates/money for our class basket. We need these by Wednesday also.

Our fall festival is fast approaching. Our booth is the noodle joust and the theme is Star Wars. Our basket for the silent auction is an "All You Can Eat Basket" and will include gift cards from area restaurants. More information will be coming home soon.

It appears that we will be getting some fall weather this week. This is my favorite time of year! Cool nights, leaves drifting in the air, bonfires and Halloween!
