Conferences are here!

This shortened week doesn't lack exciting news! It's a long blog post with lots of pictures and information. Conferences start tomorrow! We also will be having a Valentines Exchange (if your child chooses) and will be honoring Oregon's Birthday as well. We have been working on getting ready for conferences. I strongly encourage you to let your child attend and help lead the conference. 

In math we have been learning about customary units and the metric system. In writing we continue to develop our skills as editors. We had a very exciting debate during reading and an intense game of basketball during P.E. 

 

 

 

The very exciting news that was announced this week is that Aiken is starting a student council. If your child is interested in running for student council, please bring his/her application to conferences. I am very excited for the start of student council and will be serving as a co-advisor for this group. 

A lot of recognition was given out this week as well. Monday was our 2nd Quarter Awards Student. It is so hard choosing just a few students to recognize, when our class is filled with OUTSTANDING young people. Many students also became, "Masters of Multiplication." If your child hasn't done so, please encourage and help him/her memorize the multiplication facts. 

If you get a chance please thank Albertsons. They donated $1,000 to Aiken! The money will be spent on a computer/projection system to be used in the gym for guest speakers, P.E. classes, after school program, and assemblies. What an amazing gift! 

The secret word of the week is "conference." Thanks for all that you do!
