Inter-Lakes School District

Teachers in grades PK-8 will be holding conferences on Feb. 10th, 13th & 14th. Feb. 13th and 14th are early release days with students in PK-6 being dismissed at 12:00 noon. On Feb. 10th, students in grades K-12 will have no school to allow for conferences. In PK-6, the goal is to hold Student/Parent/Teacher Conferences with every  family as part of the K-6 reporting process. The conferences in K-6 allow students, parents and teachers to discuss progress and set goals for the second half of the year. Please watch for an invitation from your child’s teacher to sign-up for a conference!

Grade three students will be starting a recorder program in music class. Notices went home with students last week asking students to bring in a recorder from home or $2.25 to buy one. Cash is preferred and we’d like to receive all money by Thursday, February 9th, so we can order the recorders and get started. Recorders will be kept at school until June and then sent home with students.

A New Year leads to lots of new things in the grade three co-teach classrooms. Students have just concluded a unit in math dealing with place value. We learned about places from the millions down to the thousandths. It’s fun and challenging as we learned to read large and small numbers. Our new unit in math is about geometry. We are talking about lines, segments, rays and angles. Students are engaged in activities that include drawing and naming these objects. We will put segments together to make two-dimensional shapes.
Students are completing their first research project. They have been working in small groups to find out about the  food, the culture and the geography of Russia.
