We have had a STEAM-tastic start to the month of November! Looking back on this week, it is hard to believe that we were able to fit the TrittMazing Race, Halloween, Class Picnic, and STEAM Day all into 5 days! We did our Earth Dwellings STEAM Challenge on Thursday where we learned a lot about the toll that erosion can take on homes and the people in them. The students used the Stop Motion app on the iPads to document their builds from start to finish. Be sure the check your child's See Saw account and let them show you how their build turned out.
We are wrapping up our novel study from the book Because of Winn Dixie. What a wonderful time we have had reading this book. Ask your child to tell you about their favorite character (besides Winn Dixie of course!). In math, we will be learning how to multiply with multiples of 10 (ex. 30 x 2 = 3 groups of 10 times 2). We are also beginning to memorize multiplication facts for weekly timed quizzes. So far, the students have been tested on their 0s, 1s, and 2s. We will take our 10s quiz next week. In Social Studies, we have begun researching about American Indian tribes with Mrs. Bates in the ILC. The students compiled their research on KidSpriration and posted these to See Saw. It has been so neat to watch them research and share what they are learning. It ties nicely into our writing unit which is Informational writing as well. The Canned Food Drive has begun and will run from now until November 13th. Please bring in any non-perishable items with your child. They will earn Bonus Bucks for each item that they bring in and our sister school, Labelle Elementary, will get some much needed food and toiletries for those in need. Thank you once again for all of your contributions to our classroom. Thanks to your support, PTA has provided our classroom with 2 additional iPads, which gives us enough for small group. This is huge for our math centers! Please be reminded that students will not have school this Tuesday due to Election Day. As a school-wide incentive to encourage voting, we are asking students to bring in their parents' "I'm a Georgia Voter" stickers on Wednesday. Be sure to save yours! Veteran’s Day Celebration at Tritt Elementary Do you know a Veteran that plays a role in life of a Tritt Student? We would like to invite them to join us in a celebration program in their honor on November 12th from 8:15am-9:00am. You will hear from our Boy Scouts, Tritt Tiger Chorus, and a Keynote Speaker! We are looking forward to thanking the Veteran’s for their service. If your Veteran is able to join us, we ask that you fill out this online RSVP to ensure we have enough space set up for all of our guests. There will be a light breakfast following the program. In addition, we are compiling a picture slideshow of all Veterans represented at Tritt Elementary. If you have a picture of a Veteran, whether they are able to attend our event or not, please send it to [email protected]. Please note in your email who is in the picture, their branch of service, and their relationship to Tritt Elementary. For example, Commander Jonathan Ford, Navy, Father of Griffin and Rachel Ford. If you have any questions, please reach out to assistant principal Adam Casey.
