Today was Market Day! We were so impressed with all of our scholars. The items that our Llama family created were amazing and you could tell a lot of time and effort went into making them. Because of this, many of the products sold out- some in minutes! Here is a video taken right before all the fun began!
Academic Update:
AGAs will go home on Thursday, as well as the blue Phoenix Folders. Included will be a Summer Packet with ways to continue to grow academically over the summer.

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
It's Tuesday again!
We are down to the last two weeks! Our scholars have been busy preparing for the end of the year. We will be having a school-wide event, Phoenixville, next Thursday, May 23rd. Beginning at 5:30, we will be having our end of the year Portfolio Showcase in our classroom. At 6:00, Phoenixville in the auditorium will open and the fun will begin! Our Llamas have been hard at work on the products we will be selling. Some of the items include bookmarks, posters, notebooks, and unique one-of-a-kind books written by your scholars! If you pre-ordered tickets, they were sent home today. We look forward to seeing you there!
Academic Update:
Artists finished up Topic 15 in math today and will be taking their cumulative Topic 1-15 this week. Scientists took their Topic 1-16 cumulative this week and are officially done with 3rd grade math! We are continuing math with some Step Up to 4th Grade work throughout the rest of the week.
If your scholar is creating a good or service for "Market Day", we have set the date for Tuesday, May 28th. We will have our Market in the morning. Please send your scholars goods in on or before that day so they will be ready to sell. While we would love the opportunity to invite families to come and experience this with us, we unfortunately do not have the room to accommodate everyone. We will be sure to take lots of photos and videos to share with you!

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
It's Tuesday again!
Can you believe tomorrow is already May? It begins our last month together this school year. We have been working hard in our classroom to continue to foster connections with our school family. We know that it is important to continue to connect with one another even as our school year is coming to an end.
Today, we connected with all of the 3rd, 4th and 5th graders at our FSA Pep Rally. Remember, FSA Math will be next Tuesady and Wednesday. Our very own Jia even gave a short speech! We are so proud of her bravery and her willingness (she only knew about it five minutes before!) to help motivate our scholars. Way to go Jia!

Academic Update:
Artists have been working on Topic 14. Topic 14 is learning about line plots, graphs and data. They will take their Topic 14 assessment on Monday. They have been reviewing the cumulative Topics 1-12, and will take the test tomorrow. Scientists took their Topic 14 assessment on Monday. This week, Scientists began participating in FSA Math camp to focus on skills and strategies before taking the FSA on May 7th and May 8th.
Our blue Phoenix Folders went home today. Math homework went home today for both Artists and Scientists. For Artists, Topic 14 homework went home as well as Topic 12 and Topic 13 tests. Scientists have FSA Math prep that would be beneficial to review this next week. If you have any questions, let us know.
An optional economics themed project went home a couple weeks ago. We have been learning about goods and services and how they satisfy our communities’ economic wants and needs. As we continue on in this unit, we are asking that students create a product (goods) or a service and then bring it to sell at our Market Day, which will be at the end of May. Our scholars will have the opportunity to sell their product or their service to other scholars in our classroom (the consumers). Each scholar will receive $20 in Llama Bucks to buy as consumers. If they are selling their product or service, they will also be able to use those Llama Bucks to buy other scholar’s products or services as well.
We encourage students to take time to think of product ideas that they are able to create on their own (these should not be store-bought products), or with little help. Please do not feel that you have to purchase materials for this project. You may use any recycle items in the home. It is an opportunity to put our imagination to work!
Each scholar should be making at least five products to sell. If they are wanting to sell a service, they should be prepared to provide that service to at least five people (keep in mind how long the service might take). Some ideas for goods and services are listed below:
Goods: decorated pencils, homemade cards, games, clipboards, handmade toys, bookmarks, jewelry, come up with your own!
Services: face painting, hair braiding, drawing lessons, craft lessons, performances, come up with your own!
This should be mostly created and completed by your scholar. You may assist in any way during the production, but make sure the attached packet is thoughtfully completed by your child. Every student will need to estimate the value of their product or service, label its cost (from $1.00 - $5.00), and provide a reason why someone should buy their product. Students can also create posters or project display boards to showcase their product or service. Be creative and believe that your product idea has the potential of being great!
We look forward to seeing all the great ideas!

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
It's Tuesday again!
We hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend. We were so happy to be back together with our Llamas this week!
Academic Update:
Artists have been working on Topic 13. Topic 13 is continuing measurement with addition and subtraction. They will take their Topic 13 assessment on Friday. They will review the cumulative Topics 1-12 on Monday and Tuesday next week, and then take the test on Wednesday. Scientists took their Topic 13 assessment on Monday. This week, Scientists began their last topic on time and measurement. We will review for the test on Friday and take the assessment on Monday. Next week, they will also be participating in FSA Math camp to focus on skills and strategies before taking the FSA on May 7th and May 8th.
Our blue Phoenix Folders went home today. Math homework went home today for both Artists and Scientists. For Artists, continue to also review cumulative review that was sent home last week. Scientists also had cumulative review sent home to look over as practice for FSA. We do not expect our scholars to do every topic's review, but you should look back over the topics that your scholar struggled with. If you have any questions, let us know.
We also sent home an optional economics themed project last week. We have been learning about goods and services and how they satisfy our communities’ economic wants and needs.

It's Tuesday again!
We hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend. We were so happy to be back together with our Llamas this week!
Academic Update:
Artists have been working on Topic 13. Topic 13 is continuing measurement with addition and subtraction. They will take their Topic 13 assessment on Friday. They will review the cumulative Topics 1-12 on Monday and Tuesday next week, and then take the test on Wednesday. Scientists took their Topic 13 assessment on Monday. This week, Scientists began their last topic on time and measurement. We will review for the test on Friday and take the assessment on Monday. Next week, they will also be participating in FSA Math camp to focus on skills and strategies before taking the FSA on May 7th and May 8th.
Our blue Phoenix Folders went home today. Math homework went home today for both Artists and Scientists. For Artists, continue to also review cumulative review that was sent home last week. Scientists also had cumulative review sent home to look over as practice for FSA. We do not expect our scholars to do every topic's review, but you should look back over the topics that your scholar struggled with. If you have any questions, let us know.
We also sent home an optional economics themed project last week. We have been learning about goods and services and how they satisfy our communities’ economic wants and needs. As we continue on in this unit, we are asking that students create a product (goods) or a service and then bring it to sell at our Market Day, which will be at the end of May. Our scholars will have the opportunity to sell their product or their service to other scholars in our classroom (the consumers). Each scholar will receive $20 in Llama Bucks to buy as consumers. If they are selling their product or service, they will also be able to use those Llama Bucks to buy other scholar’s products or services as well.
We encourage students to take time to think of product ideas that they are able to create on their own (these should not be store-bought products), or with little help. Please do not feel that you have to purchase materials for this project. You may use any recycle items in the home. It is an opportunity to put our imagination to work!
Each scholar should be making at least five products to sell. If they are wanting to sell a service, they should be prepared to provide that service to at least five people (keep in mind how long the service might take). Some ideas for goods and services are listed below:
Goods: decorated pencils, homemade cards, games, clipboards, handmade toys, bookmarks, jewelry, come up with your own!
Services: face painting, hair braiding, drawing lessons, craft lessons, performances, come up with your own!
This should be mostly created and completed by your scholar. You may assist in any way during the production, but make sure the attached packet is thoughtfully completed by your child. Every student will need to estimate the value of their product or service, label its cost (from $1.00 - $5.00), and provide a reason why someone should buy their product. Students can also create posters or project display boards to showcase their product or service. Be creative and believe that your product idea has the potential of being great!
We look forward to seeing all the great ideas!

Academic Update:
Artists have been working on Topic 12. Topic 12 is all about measurement! They have loved putting their learning into some fun hands-on activities. They took their Topic 12 assessment today. Scientists took their Topic 12 assessment on beginning fractions last week. It is important that you are practicing these basic fraction concepts at home. They started Topic 13 last Friday. This topic is building on the basic fraction knowledge. In order for our scholars to have the most success, we want to make sure they have a solid foundation of the basic concepts. We will be reviewing Topic 13 on Thursday and taking the Topic 13 assessment on Monday. Next week, Scientists will begin their last topic on time and measurement.

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
It's Tuesday again!
Today was the FSA for the Scientists and we know they all showed up and tried their best. We are so proud of them! Tomorrow is day two and we expect it to go just as great. Remember to make sure your scholar gets plenty of rest and eats a good breakfast, so their brains and bodies are ready to go when they show up!
Academic Update:
Artists took their Topic 11 assessment yesterday. They began Topic 12 today. Topic 12 is all about measurement! They are very excited to put their learning into some fun hands-on activities. Scientists will begin Topic 12 and fractions this week after FSA.
Our blue Phoenix Folders went home today. Math homework went home for both Artists and Scientists. Reading and spelling were not sent home this week, but a book on your scholar's level will be sent home on Friday with the AGA. If you have an questions, let us know.
We appreciate all of you for taking the time to meet with us to discuss your scholar's academics in conferences. We have had so many great meetings already, and are looking forward to wrapping up the last few this week.
Thank you to Liahm's dad for being our Mystery Reader last week! We love our Mystery Readers!

It's Tuesday again!
Today was the FSA for the Scientists and we know they all showed up and tried their best. We are so proud of them! Tomorrow is day two and we expect it to go just as great. Remember to make sure your scholar gets plenty of rest and eats a good breakfast, so their brains and bodies are ready to go when they show up!
Academic Update:
Artists took their Topic 11 assessment yesterday. They began Topic 12 today. Topic 12 is all about measurement! They are very excited to put their learning into some fun hands-on activities. Scientists will begin Topic 12 and fractions this week after FSA.
Our blue Phoenix Folders went home today. Math homework went home for both Artists and Scientists. Reading and spelling were not sent home this week, but a book on your scholar's level will be sent home on Friday with the AGA. If you have an questions, let us know.
We appreciate all of you for taking the time to meet with us to discuss your scholar's academics in conferences. We have had so many great meetings already, and are looking forward to wrapping up the last few this week.
Thank you to Liahm's dad for being our Mystery Reader last week! We love our Mystery Readers!

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
It's Tuesday again! And we are so happy to be back together after our week off. We loved hearing about all the Spring Break adventures, both near and far, our scholars went on. And now we only have one quarter left before summer! How crazy is that?
Academic Update:
Artists are continuing to work on Topic 11 this week in math. Topic 11 is all about subtracting within 1,000. Ms. Jess will send out more information this week about what day they will take their test. Scientists are focusing on the FSA with a really fun FSA Camp this week. All day reading and language arts games and activities to work on skills they might still need before the FSA next Tuesday and Wednesday. They will begin Topic 12 and fractions next week in math.
Our blue Phoenix Folders went home today. We decided not to send home "official" homework this week. Artists can focus on reading at home, while Scientists have a couple of reading passages they can use for FSA practice if wanted. If you have an questions, let us know.
Thank you to Oliver S.'s mom for being our Mystery Reader before Spring Break! We love our Mystery Readers!

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
It's Tuesday again! And we are halfway through March!
Last Thursday, we had an in-school field trip. Tallahassee Museum is brought some animals in for an animal presentation. Our scholars even got to pet a baby alligator!

Last Friday, the Llamas hosted Friday Sing! Our class did a great job. Here is the song our class sang at the end for anyone who was not able to make it:
Tomorrow, March 13th, is our Theme Showcase, featuring our habitat theme: the rainforest! The Llamas have been busy learning, creating and having fun preparing our classroom to transform into a rainforest. Our showcase will be from 1:15-1:45. We hope you can make it!

Academic Update:
Artists began Topic 11 this week. Topic 11 is all about subtracting within 1,000. They will take their test after Spring Break. Scientists have been working on Topic 16, all about perimeter. They will take their assessment tomorrow, and will go back to finish the Topics we skipped after Spring Break. Here is the order of Topics for the rest of the year:
Topic 16: perimeter
Topic 12: understanding fractions
Topic 13: using fractions and comparing
Topic 14: time
The Scientists will be taking a practice FSA Reading assessment on Thursday morning. We believe this will help them understand the expectations, ease anxiety about the amount of time they have, and give them an idea of what the assessment will be like. It will also give us information on how to best support each scholar on they specific needs before the actual assessment.
Our blue Phoenix Folders will go home Thursday. We wanted ample time to get some work prepared for scholars over the break. We understand that many of you are traveling or will be using this week off to connect as a family. We celebrate that! We hope to do the same! But this is an important time of year for all our scholars- we encourage everyone to continue to practice the skills your scholar needs. This week, we will include review math homework for Artists and Scientists. We will also include spelling and reading homework (including passages for Scientists that will practice skills for FSA). If you have an questions, let us know.
Thank you to Annabelle's dad for being our Mystery Reader last week! He showed up as Cat in the Hat to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday. We love our Mystery Readers!

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
It's Tuesday again! We are right in the middle of a super busy month, and the Llamas are rocking it! Last week was our Book Fair. We had thirteen books donated to us from purchases at the Book Fair. We are so grateful! We also celebrated Friendship Day last Thursday. We celebrated by exchanging cards and engaging in activities surrounding kindness. Each Llama created a heart to hang on our wall with what they love most about our school family. They turned out great and serve as a constant reminder of our Llama love.

We are so grateful! We also celebrated Friendship Day last Thursday. We celebrated by exchanging cards and engaging in activities surrounding kindness. Each Llama created a heart to hang on our wall with what they love most about our school family. They turned out great and serve as a constant reminder of our Llama love.
Today we had our field trip! Our Llamas "rocked" it, learning about rocks at the Florida Geological Survey! Here are some pictures of some of our fun from today:
On Friday, we will be having our Field Day. Our class is scheduled to go in the afternoon. Our Field Day Committee has been working hard to prepare fun and engaging games for our scholars, but we are still in need of several volunteers. If you are willing and able, you can sign up here:

Academic Update:
Artists continued Topic 9 this past week. Today they took their practice test, and they all did so well! Their next topic is Topic 10, which is adding within 1000. Scientists took their Topic 11 test today. We will be skipping a few chapters and starting Topic 15 tomorrow. Topic 15 is all about attributes of two-dimensional shapes. This topic was tough for our third graders last year and has important information that will be on the FSA and we want to take our time and make sure our scholars are confident and comfortable with their skills.
Our blue Phoenix Folders will go home tomorrow. Because of the field trip, we did not have time to prepare them for our scholars. This week, we will include math homework for both Artists and Scientists. We will also include spelling and reading homework for some scholars who need additional support. If you have an questions, let us know.
Thank you to Annabelle's dad for being our Mystery Reader last week for Book Fair! We love our Mystery Readers!

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
What a great week we have had! And the week ahead is even better! This week is our Book Fair. Book Fair is open to families before and after school until Friday morning. Our class shopping day will be tomorrow, February 13th. If you have not sent in your scholar's permission form and would like them to purchase books, please email or send it in by 9:00 tomorrow morning. Also this week is Friendship Day (you might know it as Valentines Day!) On Thursday, February 14th, we will be celebrating all of the wonderful friendships we have made in the Llama classroom. We will celebrate by exchanging cards and engaging in activities surrounding kindness. We emailed out a list of student names last week. The email this week will contain it as well. If you choose to bring Friendship Cards, please include one for all 27 of our Llamas. In addition to cards, students may bring in items like pencils, stickers, etc. to pass out to their friends. Edible treats will not be included in the exchange. This is to limit the amount of sweet treats offered at school and to make sure students with allergies are safe. Please send in your child’s cards in a labeled bag. They will carry this bag around as they distribute the cards at students’ seats. If you do not wish for your child to participate, please let us know and we will provide an alternative activity during this time. Continuing on in the fun of February, we have our field trip on Tuesday, February 19th. We will be going to the Geological Society. Our class is in the second shift that is leaving school around lunch time and returning before the end of the day. The Script app is up and active. An email should have been sent to you. If you did not receive it, please let us know. We need all permission and money submitted by Friday. But the fun is not over yet in February! On Friday, February 22nd we will be having our Field Day. Our class is scheduled to go in the afternoon. Our Field Day Committee has been working hard to prepare fun and engaging games for our scholars. We cannot wait!
Academic Update:
Artists continued Topic 9 this week. Topic 9 is working with numbers up to 1000. Scientists took their Topic 10 test on Monday. They began Topic 11 today. Topic 11 is all about two-step word problems. This is another short topic (only three lessons!). We will take the practice assessment on Friday and test on Monday.
Our blue Phoenix Folders went home today. We are continuing to miss several blue Phoenix Folders each week on Tuesday. It is important that we have these folders so that we can be sure everything arrives home safely. This week, we only included math homework for Scientists. Artists will continue math homework sent home last week. If you have any questions, let us know.
Thank you to Jia's mom for being our Mystery Reader last week! We love our Mystery Readers!

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
It’s February!
And what a busy month we have ahead of us!
We started it off this week with picture day. Our llamas have the best smiles around (but we are not biased at all!). Our class picture will need to be rescheduled to another day because the photographer for our class pictures was not feeling well. We will let you know the new date once it has been set. Continuing the fun next week is our Book Fair! More information will be sent out in the next week. Our shopping day will be next Wednesday, February 13th. Also next week is Friendship Day (you might know it as Valentines Day!) On Thursday, February 14th, we will be celebrating all of the wonderful friendships we have made in the Llama classroom. We will celebrate by exchanging cards and engaging in activities surrounding kindness. We will email out a list of student names. If you choose to bring Friendship Cards, please include one for all 27 of our Llamas. In addition to cards, students may bring in items like pencils, stickers, etc. to pass out to their friends.

Continuing on in the fun of February, we have our field trip on Tuesday, February 19th. We will be going to the Geological Society. Our class is in the second shift that is leaving school around lunch time and returning before the end of the day. We hope to have the Script app up and active for you in the next couple days. An email will be sent when that is ready. But the fun is not over yet in February! On Friday, February 22nd we will be having our Field Day. Our class is scheduled to go in the afternoon. Our Field Day Committee has been working hard to prepare fun and engaging games for our scholars. We cannot wait!
Academic Update:
Artists took their Topic 8 test in math this week. They will be taking their Topic 1-8 cumulative tomorrow (Wednesday), and will begin Topic 9 later this week. Topic 9 is working with numbers up to 1000. Scientists have been working on Topic 9. Today (Tuesday) they took their Topic 9 assessment. They will begin Topic 10 tomorrow. Topic 10 is all about multiplying by multiples of 10. This topic is only three lessons, and most of the information our scholars already know. We will move quickly through this topic. They will probably take the practice test on Friday and review it (there are only eleven questions on this assessment) and plan to take the test on Monday. As always, if our scholars need more time we will move the test back.
Our blue Phoenix Folders went home today. We are continuing to miss several blue Phoenix Folders each week on Tuesday. It is important that we have these folders so that we can be sure everything arrives home safely. This week, we included spelling homework and math homework. If you have any questions, let us know.
Last week’s Theme Showcase was a huge success! If you were not able to make it, check out the video below!

Conscious Discipline is a comprehensive management program and social-emotional curriculum based on current brain research, child development information and developmentally appropriate practices.

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
Another great week in our Llama classroom!
Academic Update:
Artists have been working on Topic 8 in math this week. This topic is all about money and time. It would be helpful to practice recognition of different coins and adding them together in different ways to equal simple sums. This is a great topic to play around with at home. Have fun with it! Ms. Jess has been sending home extra math practice recently. This is meant as supplemental help for this topic as well as the upcoming Topic 1-8 cumulative test that will be happening after this topic. Topic 8 Test is scheduled for this Friday. Scientists took their Topic 1-8 test in math on Thursday and Friday last week. Copies of this test went home today in folders. Some scholars will find that they did not do as well on this cumulative as they have on previous tests. A blank copy of the test as well as the answer key was sent home for those scholars who were hoping to better understand why they missed particular questions and to practice those questions. This week, we began Topic 9. This topic is a review of previous addition and subtraction strategies using three digit numbers. We will take a practice test on Friday, review and take the actual test either Monday or Tuesday (depending on how they are feeling about the information). So far, all scholars seem confident with the material and we are moving quickly through this topic.
Our blue Phoenix Folders went home today. We are continuing to miss several blue Phoenix Folders each week on Tuesday. It is important that we have these folders so that we can be sure everything arrives home safely. This week, we included spelling homework and reading passages to practice reading skills for some scholars. If you have any questions, let us know.
Our next Theme Showcase will be this Wednesday, January 30th from 1:15-1:45. You can sign up here so that your badge is ready at the front office when you arrive: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfx5D37saLPtLAxrB8RJCVK-bUKqp7TCRneTPNHuwWcR1gRVg/viewform?c=0&w=1
The 100th Day of School is this Thursday! Can you believe it? We will be doing some fun "100th Day" activities in our classroom on Thursday afternoon. By popular request, we are also allowing our llama scholars to dress up. Ideas include dressing like you are 100 years old, dressing like it is 1919, dressing with 100 items on your clothing. Get creative! We cannot wait to see what show up in!
We have scheduled our first off-campus field trip! We will be going to the Florida Geological Society on Tuesday, February 19th. More information will be coming in the next week! Looking forward to wrapping up the Earth-themed unit in style!
Thank you to Oliver A.'s mom for being our Mystery Reader last week! We love our Mystery Readers!

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
Another great week in our Llama classroom! Can you believe that we only have one week left in January? 2019 is flying by!
Last Friday, we were lucky enough to have the Opera Outreach FSU perform for our scholars. This year they did their own rendition of Cinderella. It was magnificient! Instead of an evil stepmother, there was an evil stepfather... we have never seen that before! It was so amazing to hear how they can use their voices to both sing and act out the play. How do they sing so high? We are so grateful to have these opportunities come to our school for our scholars.
Academic Update:
Artists took their Topic 7 test last week in math. They began Topic 8 on Thursday. This topic is all about money and time. It would be helpful to practice recognition of different coins and adding them together in different ways to equal simple sums. This is a great topic to play around with at home. Have fun with it! Ms. Jess also sent home extra math practice for the last few topics. This is meant as supplemental help for the upcoming Topic 1-8 cumulative test that will be happening after this topic. Scientists continued Topic 8 in math. This topic was all about strategies and properties in addition and subtraction. We have reviewed old strategies and properties as well as learned new ones. This last week, we also practiced rounding numbers, using mental math with addition and subtraction, and practiced estimation strategies. Our Topic 8 test was today (Tuesday). Tomorrow (Wednesday), we will review Topics 1-8 in preparation for our cumulative test on Thursday. Ms. Brittany sent home the "Reteaching" sheets from each topic to review the next two nights. These sheets remind students how to solve each kind of problem. Your scholar does not need to do every question on every topic, but it would be helpful for them to review the kinds of problems they struggled with on each topic.
Our blue Phoenix Folders went home today. Each week, we are missing many blue folders on Tuesday. It is important that we have these folders so that we can be sure everything arrives home safely.

This week, we included spelling homework and reading passages to practice reading skills for some scholars. If you have any questions, let us know.

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
Another great week in our Llama classroom! We spent last week going over our classroom expectations, setting up our scholars for success through practice and commitments to keeping it safe. We are happy to report that by going over these expectations clearly and thoroughly last week, we have had a safer, more successful week this week. It would be helpful to continue to discuss safe classroom behavior and commitments at home as well. When we work together, we are all more successful!
Academic Update:
Artists continued Topic 7 this week in math. This topic is all about word problems. It would be helpful to practice reading word problems with your scholar and have them decide what steps need to be done in each problem in order to solve it. The Topic 7 test date is tomorrow. Ms. Jess emailed Artist families with more information yesterday. If you did not receive it, please let her know. Scientists began Topic 8 last week in math. This topic is all about strategies and properties in addition and subtraction. We have reviewed old strategies and properties as well as learned new ones. This week, we also practiced rounding numbers, using mental math with addition and subtraction, and began estimation strategies today. We will continue to practice these concepts throughout this week. Our Topic 8 test will be on Monday.
Our blue Phoenix Folders went home today. Each week, we are missing many blue folders on Tuesday. It is important that we have these folders so that we can be sure everything arrives home safely. This week, we included spelling homework and books to practice reading skills for some scholars. AGAs were also sent home today in folders. If you have any questions, let us know.

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
2019... can you believe it? We are halfway through our school year, and the days are flying by. We welcomed back our scholars with open arms today. We were so happy to hear about all of their adventures, time with family and friends, and the amount of sleep they got (it was a lot apparently!). It sounds like all of our llamas were happy to be back- they loved reconnecting with each other this morning and throughout the day.
In a lot of ways, this week is similar to the very first week of school in August. We are going over our classroom expectations, setting up our scholars for success through practice and commitments to keeping it safe. We are hopeful that by going over these expectations clearly and thoroughly this week, we will be able to have safer, more successful weeks to follow. It would be helpful to discuss safe classroom behavior and commitments at home as well. When we work together, we are all more successful!

It would be helpful to practice reading word problems with your scholar and have them decide what steps need to be done in each problem in order to solve it. The Topic 7 test date has not been set yet. Ms. Jess will email Artist families when a date has been set. Scientists began Topic 8 today in math. This topic is all about strategies and properties in addition and subtraction. We will be reviewing old strategies and properties as well as learning new ones. This is a longer topic and a test date has not been set yet, but will most likely be next week.
We did not send home the blue Phoenix Folders today. We will be sending them home tomorrow with math homework for all scholars. We will not be sending home additional reading or spelling work this week. We will begin sending that home again next week. If you have any questions, let us know.

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
We cannot believe we are in our last academic week of 2018! It seems like we just started in August and here we are halfway through this school year. We have spent the last week connecting and reflecting on our school year so far. We are so impressed with everything we have seen and done so far this school year, but are looking forward to even greater things in the spring! Our llamas are excited about upcoming trips and activities planned over the long break. We hope that you have a safe and happy holiday break.
EARLY RELEASE DAY INFORMATION
Fill out the following REQUIRED Dismissal Form HERE
Academic Update:
Both Artists and Scientists took their Topic Assessments today. Artists will begin Topic 7 when we return from the holiday break, and Scientists will begin Topic 8. Please continue to practice basic math facts (0-10 addition and subtraction for Artists, 0-10 multiplication facts for Scientists) as well as the homework packets sent home for topics that your scholar is struggling with.
We will be sending home Phoenix Folders on Thursday this week, with reading level books and optional homework for the break. If your scholar has not sent their folder in, please send it in by Thursday.
Tomorrow night (Wednesday), we will have our Portfolio Showcase. This will happen from 5:30-6:30 in our classroom. This is a time to come in and see some of the things your scholar has been working on this school year. We hope to see you there!
Thank you to Cameron's dad for being our Mystery Reader last week! We love our Mystery Readers!

Both Artists and Scientists took their Topic Assessments today. Artists will begin Topic 7 when we return from the holiday break, and Scientists will begin Topic 8. Please continue to practice basic math facts (0-10 addition and subtraction for Artists, 0-10 multiplication facts for Scientists) as well as the homework packets sent home for topics that your scholar is struggling with.
We will be sending home Phoenix Folders on Thursday this week, with reading level books and optional homework for the break. If your scholar has not sent their folder in, please send it in by Thursday.
Tomorrow night (Wednesday), we will have our Portfolio Showcase. This will happen from 5:30-6:30 in our classroom. This is a time to come in and see some of the things your scholar has been working on this school year. We hope to see you there!

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
We are cruising right along to the end of 2018. It seems crazy to even say that! Our llamas are excited about upcoming trips and activities planned over the long break. This week we are spending a lot of time emphasizing the importance of staying present in academics and activities in our classroom until the last day of school next week. We have discussed and practiced our classroom expectations and it would be helpful to give reminders of that at home as well.
This week, we are beginning assessments from our second quarter AGA that will be going home in January. We have set up conferences for parents of scholars who we feel would benefit from discussing progress and strategies to support their scholar. If you did not receive an email, you are not required to meet with us for the second quarter. We will be having mandatory conferences again for the third quarter in March. If you would like to meet with us to discuss any concerns at any time, you are always welcome to schedule a conference.
Next Wednesday, we will have our Portfolio Showcase. This will happen from 5:30-6:30 in our classroom. This is a time to come in and see some of the things your scholar has been working on this school year. We hope to see you there!
From PTA:
Thank you to all who came out to our Barnes and Noble and Urban Food Market Share night on Friday! A very special thank you to our mystery readers Ms. Christy, Ms. Katherine and Ms.Jessica (Parent)!
We delivered nearly 50 books to teachers on Monday from your generous donations and selections from their classroom wishlists.
The Barnes and Noble bookfair isn't over yet!!! Online sale run until 12/12/18, please visit https://m.barnesandnoble.com/ and use Bookfair Code 12385159 at checkout.
We wish you and your family a wonderful Winter Break and all the best for 2019.
Academic Update:
Artists will be taking their Topic 6 Assessment next Tuesday, December 18th. Please continue to practice basic math facts (0-10) as well as the homework packets sent home. This topic can be confusing for some scholars and the extra support at home will be very helpful.
Scientists will have their Topic 7 Assessment next Tuesday, December 18th. Topic 6 was tough for some of our scholars, but this next topic is all about graphing and seems simpler for most of them. Look for some fun graphing activities happening in the next week!
Spelling and reading homework was sent home today as well. Remember, all homework is optional. We encourage our scholars to focus on it if they are struggling, but it can be beneficial for all to review information being learned in the classroom.
Thank you to Eva's mom for being our Mystery Reader last week! We celebrate our Llama families willingness to come in and have fun with us. Eva's mom even used a British accent!

Looking ahead, Topic 7 is a shorter, simpler topic (graphing) and we will still try to take Topic 7 Assessment on Monday, December 17th so that they can take it before leaving for the Winter Break (but will push it until Tuesday or Wednesday if our scholars need the extra time). If your family plans to be out that week, please let us know so that we can try to accommodate your scholar.
Spelling and reading homework was sent home today as well. Remember, all homework is optional. We encourage our scholars to focus on it if they are struggling, but it can be beneficial for all to review information being learned in the classroom.

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
Welcome back from the Thanksgiving holidays! We have loved hearing about how all of our llamas spent their week off from school. We are happy to hear that everyone seemed to have a happy, safe, and relaxing break. Ms. Brittany flew to Arizona with her son and also got to see the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon! Ms. Jess relaxed and spent some time with family. We would love to see any pictures of what our llamas did over the break. If you would like to send any pictures, email Ms. Brittany ([email protected]) so we can share with the class.

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
Welcome back from the long weekend! We are so thankful to our veterans and hope you found time to relax and enjoy the day off while remembering, appreciating and celebrating them and what they have done for our country.
Last week we began our Weekly Class Video series again. The Publishers created a video about what our school family was going to do over the weekend. Here it is if you missed it:

Tomorrow is our theme showcase! The Llamas will have theirs from 1:15-1:45. Be sure to RSVP through the school website. Students are asked to dress in period appropriate immigrant clothing. Some examples may include long skirts, blouses, and shawls for the girls, and long pants, shirts with suspenders or vests, newsboy style hats for the boys. Remember, your scholar can choose to dress whichever style they want! We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
From PTA:
Share Night: Chipotle Mexican Grill (Thomasville Road location only) Tuesday, Nov 13, 4-8 pm

Put on your favorite pajamas and come join us for a Barnes and Noble share night. Parents and guardians, we will have cookies, hot chocolate, fun crafts, and multiple readings of “The Polar Express” read by special guest mystery readers to keep your kids entertained while you shop for yourselves and/or any of the classroom wish lists. A portion of all sales when you mention
We need volunteers to make this as safe, fun, smooth, and successful an event as possible. Volunteer shifts will be for 1 hour at a time. Grandparents are welcome. We need lots of loving eyes and hands onboard. Visit www.sascpta.org and select Volunteer to sign up! We hope to see you there!

It's a share night double feature! After (or before) participating in the Barnes and Noble Polar Express Event head over to the Urban Food Market for supper! They will donate 10% of profit to SASC PTA, when you present the flyer at point of sale.
Remember, Artists will be taking their Topic 1-4 Cumulative Assessment on Thursday. They will review Topics 1-4 today and tomorrow. In their Phoenix Folders today, they have practice tests from each of the topics. We do not expect your scholar to complete all four practice tests before the assessment on Thursday. These are being sent home as a helpful tool for your scholar to practice specific kinds of problems they have struggled with. You have received a copy of each of their tests this year (a copy of Topic 4 is in their folder today). It would be most helpful to look at those test and the kinds of problems they missed and review with your scholar before Thursday. If you have any questions, please let us know. Math homework for Scientists was not sent home, as they will have their Topic 5 Assessment on Thursday and will not begin Topic 6 until after the Thanksgiving break.
This week, we are not sending home spelling lists or additional reading support. We will send home an optional packet with these things included on Friday to work on over the long break if you choose. As always, scholars can work on previous spelling lists, sight words, and read books we have sent home previous weeks.
We are hoping to begin a weekly Mystery Reader this week. If you are willing and able, you can sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080a4ba4a92caaf94-mystery1

Make dinner a selfless act by joining us for a fundraiser to support SASC PTA. Bring a flyer, show it on your smartphone or tell the the cashier you are supporting the cause and Chipotle will donate 25% of the profits from your sale to SASC PTA. Flyers will go home in folders TODAY!
Share Night: Polar Express Pajama Party, Barnes and Noble Share Night
When: Fri, Dec, 7 at 4-7pm
Where: Barnes and Noble, Tallahassee
Put on your favorite pajamas and come join us for a Barnes and Noble share night. Parents and guardians, we will have cookies, hot chocolate, fun crafts, and multiple readings of “The Polar Express” read by special guest mystery readers to keep your kids entertained while you shop for yourselves and/or any of the classroom wish lists. A portion of all sales when you mention
We need volunteers to make this as safe, fun, smooth, and successful an event as possible. Volunteer shifts will be for 1 hour at a time. Grandparents are welcome. We need lots of loving eyes and hands onboard. Visit www.sascpta.org and select Volunteer to sign up! We hope to see you there!
Share Night: Urban Food Market
When: Fri, Dec 7 starting at 4 pm
Where: Urban Food Market
It's a share night double feature! After (or before) participating in the Barnes and Noble Polar Express Event head over to the Urban Food Market for supper! They will donate 10% of profit to SASC PTA, when you present the flyer at point of sale.
Remember, Artists will be taking their Topic 1-4 Cumulative Assessment on Thursday. They will review Topics 1-4 today and tomorrow. In their Phoenix Folders today, they have practice tests from each of the topics. We do not expect your scholar to complete all four practice tests before the assessment on Thursday. These are being sent home as a helpful tool for your scholar to practice specific kinds of problems they have struggled with. You have received a copy of each of their tests this year (a copy of Topic 4 is in their folder today). It would be most helpful to look at those test and the kinds of problems they missed and review with your scholar before Thursday. If you have any questions, please let us know. Math homework for Scientists was not sent home, as they will have their Topic 5 Assessment on Thursday and will not begin Topic 6 until after the Thanksgiving break.
This week, we are not sending home spelling lists or additional reading support. We will send home an optional packet with these things included on Friday to work on over the long break if you choose. As always, scholars can work on previous spelling lists, sight words, and read books we have sent home previous weeks.
We are hoping to begin a weekly Mystery Reader this week. If you are willing and able, you can sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080a4ba4a92caaf94-mystery1
There are afternoon and mornings slots available. Can't wait to see you!

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
Can you believe it's November? This school year is flying by!
Thank you to all of our parents that came and volunteered for the Fall Festival. It was a huge success! Here are some pictures of the fun that we had:
Can you believe it's November? This school year is flying by!
Thank you to all of our parents that came and volunteered for the Fall Festival. It was a huge success! Here are some pictures of the fun that we had:
Thank you to those who came to our first Llama Play Date. Your llama teachers were on their way to the play date when it started storming. We thought it would be canceled and turned around. We were so sad to hear that the play date went on! We are so glad that some of our llamas were able to still get together to connect and play! Thank you to our class parents, Cameron's family, who hosted.
Remember, Artists will be taking their Topic 4 Assessment tomorrow (Wednesday). They will review Topics 1-4 at the beginning of next week and take their Topic 1-4 cumulative assessment next Thursday. In their Phoenix Folders today, they have a simple math facts worksheet that we believe would be helpful to learn those facts. Scientists will be taking their Topic 5 Assessment next Thursday. Math homework for Scientists was put into Phoenix Folders today. There is also a multiplication facts practice sheet for those scholars who need extra support. For all scholars, spelling lists were put into folders. The spelling lists are meant to provide your scholars with practice on the correct spelling of common words. We will not be taking spelling tests in our classroom, but you are welcome to quiz your scholar with the provided sheet at home. The Illustrators, Authors, and Editors reading groups brought home the books they have been reading the past week with a supplemental worksheet that focuses on key reading skills. Remember, homework is optional, but usually helpful even if it is a review for your scholar. If you have any questions, please let us know.
Theme Notes From Ms. Christy:
Your scholars have been working hard and we have wrapped up our history unit. We are prepping for showcase and are very excited. For this showcase, we are asking that your scholars dress as immigrants would have dressed in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Girls options could be long skirts or dresses with high socks and scarves or shawls. Boys options could be pants with suspenders or vests with newsboy style hats. Exploring old photographs with your students at home would be a great activity to get inspiration! Please note - boys or girls may dress in either style they would like.
We are still looking for a few props if you have any we could borrow - vintage style suitcases, white lab coat (kid size).
Our showcase time will be Wednesday November 14 from 1:15-1:45 located in the auditorium. Please RSVP through the link below.

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
We have finished with our conferences! Thank you to our entire school family for signing up and committing to working together to help your scholar be successful. It takes effort from both sides, and we are so lucky to have such a supportive group of parents this year. Please remember that a conference can be scheduled at any point in the year if you feel it necessary. We are always willing to meet with you to discuss any concerns. We have enjoyed meeting with you to celebrate our Llama's achievements and successes, and talk about the ways our scholars can grow over this year.
The AGAs will be going home later this week. We appreciate the flexibility while we work to give you the best representation of your scholar's academic and social/emotional growth. We will be sending Phoenix Folders home when the AGAs come home. Math homework for Topic 4 for the Artists was put into Phoenix Folders last week. They will be taking their Topic 4 Assessment next Wednesday, November 7th. The Scientists will have their Topic 5 homework in their folders this week. They will tentatively be taking their Topic 5 Assessment on Wednesday, November 14th. Remember, if your scholar is not comfortable with their multiplication facts, this is something they can be practicing at home to be more confident in their math skills.
We will be having our Fall Festival this Friday, November 2nd from 1:00-3:00. We are still in need of a few supplies. Please sign up below if you are able and willing. We appreciate your support!

Workshop Information
The School of Arts and Sciences at The Centre has been working with Nicole Mercer on implementing Conscious Discipline into the structure of their school family since 2015. Conscious Discipline is a comprehensive management program and social-emotional curriculum based on current brain research, child development information and developmentally appropriate practices. Conscious Discipline has been specifically designed to make changes in the lives of adults first. The adults, in turn, change the lives of children.
It is unique from other ways of guidance because it teaches new skills to the adults first, and the children second, empowering adults to become the mindful teachers and parents you want to be. Responses to conflict and misbehavior in a Conscious Discipline classroom are drastically different than the norm.
We invite you to join us for an evening of learning more about Conscious Discipline. This workshop will provide you with an overview.

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
We are so happy to have our school family back together after last week. We are grateful that all of our families seem to have made it through the hurricane with minimal damage. We know that some of you are still waiting for electricity to come back, and we are wishing you well and hope it comes back sooner rather than later!
We did not have an update last week because we were out, but how amazing were our llamas at Friday Sing? If you did not get a chance to come, here is a video of some of our Llamas speaking and performing:

It is unique from other ways of guidance because it teaches new skills to the adults first, and the children second, empowering adults to become the mindful teachers and parents you want to be. Responses to conflict and misbehavior in a Conscious Discipline classroom are drastically different than the norm.
We invite you to join us for an evening of learning more about Conscious Discipline. This workshop will provide you with an overview.

We are loving getting together with the Llama families to celebrate their achievements and successes, and talk about the ways our scholars can grow over this year. Slips of paper with your scholar's scheduled date and time were put in Phoenix Folders. If you have not yet scheduled your conference, please sign up as soon as possible.
Math homework for scientists was put into Phoenix Folders. As always, homework is optional. The Scientists (3rd grade) will be having their Topic 3 Assessment tomorrow Wednesday, October 17th. Ms. Jess sent out an email about the Artists' (2nd grade) Topic 3 Assessment, which has been scheduled for next Wednesday, October 24th. Some of our scholars also have fluency practice homework in their Phoenix Folders. This is optional, but if your scholar received it, this is an area they are struggling in and will benefit by practicing at home. If you have any questions, please let us know.
A slip of paper with a username was also put into Phoenix Folders. This is your scholar's username for our math program Pearson Sign In. The password for every student is "mathisfun1". Please let us know if you cannot log in. This is optional work for your scholar to do.

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
Happy Tuesday! What a week our Llama family has had. After having last Wednesday off, we came back on Thursday ready to get back to it. We are loving our weekly class videos! Our Editor group was not able to finish their video because of the day off, so our class came together to make a video. We decided that our class motto should be "We are the Llamas and we never give up!". Our scholars who wanted to participate (and were here) gave different reasons why they never give up or gave examples of never giving up. We are so proud of our Llamas! If you did not get an opportunity to watch the video, you can check it out below:

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
We are now in our sixth week of school, and the Llamas are having a blast! This week we had our first showcase, all about Civics and Government. We learned about our government, including the constitution, created our own laws, talked about different American symbols and even learned about some of our most important founders. Our scholars also learned the words to the Preamble and performed it for those families that were able to come. We want to thank our Loving Llamas families for coming together for our scholars who were not able to have someone come. We were truly a LOVING Llama family and we are so proud of that. If you were not able to make it, check it out below:

This week we also celebrated Jia's birthday on Friday. Her family brought in their family dog, Bruno, to visit for her Show and Tell. We love seeing all of the creative things our scholars bring in for their birthdays! Remember, on your scholar's birthday they can bring in something special for Show and Tell. If their birthday falls on a weekend, they can choose to bring it in the Friday before or the Monday after. For those summer birthdays that sometimes get left out, we will celebrate before school gets out at the end of the year.
Last week, our Class Video was all about "mascots". The scholars from the Printers group interviewed students in our class about whether they preferred the "Phoenix" mascot (for our school) or the bearded dragon (our class pet). We are so impressed with how our scholar groups are working together to create such exciting and innovative videos. This week, the Editors will be creating our Class Video. We cannot wait to see what they come up with! Check out last week's video here:

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
We hope you had a safe and relaxing holiday weekend. We are so glad to be back with our llama family today. It sounds like many of you had fun adventures as a family, and we loved hearing all about it today. Thank you to everyone who has sent in pictures of friends and family for your llama. If you have not, please send them in by Friday. Have any fun pictures from this weekend? Send them in, or email us so we can share with the class!
We enjoyed having many of you come for Open House last week. We hope you found the information useful, and we appreciate your offers of support and help. Many of you asked how you might be helpful to us. Below are some volunteer opportunities if you are willing and able. There will be more specific opportunities as the school year goes on as well. We will send out the Open House slideshow for anyone who was unable to attend.

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
This week our llamas have continued to connect with one another. Our scholars are enjoying the games we are playing to get to know each other better. Have your scholar show you the "alien greeting", the "hit the floor", "two truths and a lie", or even their favorite "dance party" move! We will continue to create our school family in the upcoming weeks. We love getting to know each other! If you have not sent in pictures for our "Friends and Family" book, please do so as soon as possible.
This week we also talked about the brain and brain states in Conscious Discipline. Have your scholar tell you about the three different brain states (survival, emotional, and executive) and what each one looks like, sounds like, and feels like. Then have them explain to you how your brain and body move through each state to get to the executive state- the state our brain and body need to be in order to problem-solve, learn, and collaborate with each other.
We began literacy centers in more structured groups this week, continuing activities to engage with each other and connect. One of the activities the scholars participated in with teachers was a "Loving Eyes" activity. When we try to see the best in someone (even when they do something that might upset us), we call that using our "loving eyes". Our llamas discussed different scenarios and how they would feel. Then they put on their "loving eyes" (a very large pair of heart shaped glasses), and tried to see the scenario in a different way. They loved it! We try to practice "loving eyes" throughout the day. This is a great activity to do with your scholar. See if your llama can give you a scenario and you use your "loving eyes"!
In your scholar's blue Phoenix Folder today are several important flyers. Please make sure to read through them carefully.
Ms. Christy has some important information for you regarding theme:
We are off to a fun start with theme this year. The first two weeks were focused on Science and STEM activities. This week we are kicking off our first theme unit of the year - Civics and Government. This will be a short but meaningful unit ending with our first showcase on Monday, September 17th from 1:00-1:30. Be sure to save the date and RSVP through the school website
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfx5D37saLPtLAxrB8RJCVK-bUKqp7TCRneTPNHuwWcR1gRVg/viewform?c=0&w=1
For this showcase, students are asked to come dressed in red, white, and blue colors if possible. We look froward to seeing you then!
Showcase wish list - Parchment style paper. If you would like to donate materials please send them by Thursday Sept.6. Thank you for your support and generosity!
Volunteer needed: If you would like to volunteer to help with a few admin-type duties needed for theme class please contact Ms. Christy at [email protected]

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
Can you believe we are already in our second week of school? Time flies when you are having fun, and our Llama school family is having a ton of fun! This past week we spent a lot of time getting to know each other better, connecting as a school family and creating commitments and a classroom that will help us be successful this year.
We also took time to prepare our minds and bodies with different exercises, including yoga. We have some flexible scholars!

We also took time to prepare our minds and bodies with different exercises, including yoga. We have some flexible scholars!
We also engaged in many activities this week to bring our Loving Llamas school family closer together. One of the activities we did was a "directed drawing" activity. Ms. Brittany called out and demonstrated the directions for how to draw a llama, and the scholars followed along. At the end, they were able to make it their own with watercolor. They turned out amazing (just like each of our llamas!)
We are still in the process of filling our Friends and Family board. This board supports the foundation of our class family and connects a child's home and school family. Please send in photos of friends and family with your child to add to our board. We suggest sending copies of photos as they will not be returned at the end of the school year. We would love to have 2-5 photos from each student represented on our Friends and Family Board for your student to utilize.

Hello Loving Llamas school family!
Welcome to the beginning of the school year! Our Loving Llamas have had an exceptional first two days. We learned about being a safekeeper at school and becoming part of a helpful class family. This week we are focusing on getting to know our school family, conscious breathing to calm big feelings, and most importantly, safety. We say "we are your safekeepers and it is our number one job to keep you safe" and "as students it is your number one job to help keep it that way." We are learning all about commitments, wishing well, classroom routines/procedures, and one another. It has been a beautiful two days! To learn more about our practice of Conscious Discipline visit the website at consciousdiscipline.com. We are so excited to have your scholar as part of our llama family this year. We have so many exciting things planned for this year and are so happy to start this year's adventure. Our llamas have jumped right into the start of the year with some fun activities. Check out some of the fun below:

Phoenix Folders are blue and labeled with your child's name. They are due back by the following Monday but can be turned in anytime before then. The following forms came home in Phoenix Folders today: a schedule of events and PTA information.
We are currently in the process of filling our Friends and Family board. This board supports the foundation of our class family and connects a child's home and school family. Please send in photos of friends and family with your child to add to our board. We suggest sending copies of photos as they will not be returned at the end of the school year.
