Dear parents of the Diamondbacks Classroom,
Time is flying, and our yearly Fall Festival is right around the corner. The children have completed our art project, and we are also rehearsing the performance for the special event. Everyone is getting ready, and we hope to see most of you there. A thank-you goes to all the parents who helped supervise the mosaic work.
We are enjoying all the observations in the classroom, and I am happy to have conferences with you all. If you have not signed up for an observation and conference, please do so soon. You can also contact me to schedule another time if none of the existing slots work for you.
In the classroom, the children have received a variety of lessons. These are just some of them: The Aztecs, introduction to decimal fractions, divisibility of numbers, decimal fractions divided by a decimal fraction, finding the circumference of a circle, area of a trapezoid, sentence analysis – attributives, elliptical sentences, affixes, adjacent and linear pairs of angles, how to write a cinquain, main rivers of North America, types of flowers, and many more.
Some of the research presentations were on Paris, Sharks, Columbia, Bunnies, Cats, and Gymnastics.
We are watching our plants grow in our raised beds in the back of the classroom and hope to harvest in a few weeks.
On November 19th, we will have a Thanksgiving Feast in our classroom. You will receive more information about that in about two weeks.
Thank you all for coming to the Potluck this last Tuesday. It was fun to meet everyone outside of the school.
Have a wonderful November, and feel free to reach out to me with any questions you might have.
Mr. Stefan
