Yealey Families,

I hope you've had a great week at home and been able to stay cool.  This heat wave is unexpected but personally I love it!

We have been very busy at school and hopefully you've been able to follow along with some of the fun learning through our social media accounts.  We have fourth graders who "escaped" their classroom by showing some awesome problem solving and collaboration.  Third graders have started tackling the concept of multiplication. I have challenged them to try to use some of their reading skills to help them figure out some difficult concepts by looking at vocabulary and reading the explanations in their books. 

We have a pumpkin fundraiser coming up through the PTA.  Be sure to look for information coming home about that.  PTA will again be sponsoring our Fall Festival and will continue to make this a free event for families to come and enjoy each other's company and have some fun.  Fundraisers like this help us to continue these awesome Yealey traditions.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hi Yealey Families,

It has been an awesome week at Yealey.  I have loved being in classrooms this week seeing students learn about place value, practice their writing skills, and coding/creating video games.  This week we started our school wide jobs and it's been awesome to see students stepping up and taking care of things around the building.

We have been focusing on reviewing the 7 habits this year and are going to focus on Habit 1 this month - Be Proactive.  Please take time to review this with your children - ask them about the habits.  Find out when they think they could be used at home.  I hope that your children will be able to show you all kinds of ways to show the habits.

Also, a friendly reminder from our financial secretary to please send in fee money with your child or in the mail as soon as possible please.  These fees are used to cover the cost of workbooks and classroom supplies.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.  Enjoy the beautiful weather!
