We are a class that works TOGETHER!!

***** Monday is a holiday, and Tuesday is school PICTURES!

Daniel, Jason, Nahjani, and Stewie working on their presentation!
Prince, Tyree, and Mario measure Volume - remember V=LxWxH



Tony, Dante, and Boris calculating Volume.
Students were working hard to create their first Social Studies Presentations. All year, students will be responsible for presenting SS lessons to the class in groups. Each group reads and pulls out relevant material to share with other students! We really get some great posters with maps, key words, and essential questions that make learning SS so much fun!

Parents, Sign the agenda!


Dear Parents,
At Beauclerc ES, students are expected to read 30 minutes each night or 2.5 hours during the week. This year we are again requiring students to log their nightly reading in their planner. Your signature is our acknowledgement that your student read, and there is some discussion about what they are reading. Students can read books, magazines, comics, etc. to meet this challenge.
In addition to nightly reading, important things are written in that planner daily. Homework, assignments, upcoming tests, projects, etc. If your child's planner is blank-- well that should be a major concern.
We hope this helps set the beginning of the year expectations, and we look forward to seeing you at Open House tomorrow at 6:30.
