Picture Day

By Rhea

Picture Day is an important and stressing day, especially when you take your picture right after PE. People all in nice outfits ready to take their pictures, practicing their smiles. Preparing for pictures that will last the rest of your life! Some people are also excited to get their pictures over with. Here are some people's ideas about picture day.

Anjali says, "Smile!"

Shreya says, "I hope my picture looks nice!"

Katie says, "Picture Day rocks!"

And Chloe says, "Best day ever!"

First Math Test (Assessment)

Within each module of the EngageNY math program there are 2 assessments. One is the "Mid-Module Assessment" and the second is the "End of Module Assessment". There will be two tests, or assessments, for each module we complete.

The students will be taking the Mid-Module Assessment for Module 1 on Thursday, September 18th. Since it is our first assessment, we will be doing a lot of review in class, and students will receive a study guide to help them prepare.

The assessment has been added to our Calendar, and students are aware of the test date.

Music

By Katie

As you can see we have a new music teacher... MRS. HENDERSON! This is just my opinion but I think she is great! Personally, I like it when we have to clap the beat, and the hello song. Some people like the line up song or copying her hand motions. I think this will be a great school year with Mrs. Henderson and a brand new start. 

"I love her," Chloe says, "She is really creative." 

"I think she's funny," Ashley told me.

"Hi," says Kai.

I apologize for the lateness of this post, but I wanted to make sure all students know that there will be videos for certain EngageNY lessons to help students with homework & new concepts. Please make sure that you check our class YouTube channel and watch for new videos on the EngageNY playlist. There will be a mix of videos- some created by me, or others to help explain concepts.Also, check out our sites VIDEO tab, for great resources! Mr. Habecker has also created great video tutorials if you are struggling with a new math concept at home. Today's lesson Module 1, Topic A, Lesson 1 (1.A.1) has been uploaded.

The First Week of School

By Camille

The first week of school was probably great for everyone. Everybody saw their friends again, got used to their teachers, sat with each other, and also had some laughs during recess. School started for one reason and one reason only... so the teachers can jam up your head again and fill it up with everything you lost over summer! Anyway, everyone should be excited for the school year to start. Everyone should start and end the day with a good attitude. Happy first week of school everyone. Good luck this year!
