Donations Needed
THANK YOU to everyone who has made a donation!
In preparation for our final NW Story path episode on November 15th, we are calling on all Puffin families to make a food donation. The final episode involves a celebration with a feast of traditional foods. We need your help to make it really special!
Please take a look at our food list below, and select an item (or items!) that you would be able to donate. To comply with state laws and to be safe for food allergies in the classroom, please send only commercially packaged food items.
As these donations are all dried/package sealed items, you can send your donation in any time between now and the 14th of November.
Dried Berries (blueberries/strawberries/huckleberries)
Dried Roots (vegetable chips)
Dried Meat (Jerky: salmon/turkey/elk or beef)
Level 2 Suggested Weekly Homework:
Reading Homework
Spend at least 20 minutes reading (outside of school) every day.
Reading is on the "honor system" and we ask that you help your kiddo to develop a daily reading routine with good-fit books. At fall conferences we will send home an optional reading genre challenge.
Typing Homework
Level 2 students have typing homework to develop and support important keyboarding skills. Please practice at least 20 minutes per week on: Typing.com
Math homework
It is strongly recommended that your student practice math skills
at least 30 minutes (or more) per week.
This can be completed online with Dreambox or Khan Academy. Students can also play math games, or complete worksheets (you can find grade level workbooks online or at the Learning Palace).
Current 4th grade Math Topics:
- Place Value
- Multi-digit Addition with Carrying & Subtraction with Borrowing
- Rounding Whole Numbers
- Factors & Multiples, Multiplication Facts 2's -12's
What's Happening in the Puffin Nest?
This week, students played traditional Native American games in the Backyard Garden. Next week, an educator from the Washington County Museum will meet the Puffins at the Forest Grove Library for a presentation about the Chinook people, who lived along the Columbia River.
