Expedition Week!

Join us this Thursday from 5:30-7:30 to celebrate in your child's learning of their first expedition "Are we Missing the Boat?" We have been focusing on both sides of the border and the importance and effects of tourism on our community. Students will be showcasing their learning over the past few months and chosen docents in the fifth grade will be presenting our expedition to our visitors!
Just a reminder that all candy bar money and unsold candy bars are due tomorrow. Your child is responsible for returning these in an orderly fashion and will be responsible for replacing any lost candy bars. All money will be sent to the company this week so that we can be reimbursed for our hard work!
Please join is supporting NCS for their yearly book fair for Scholastic. Our students will be visiting the fair on Wednesday. It will also be open during Expedition night. All proceeds benefit NCS!

STOP Bullying!

This Saturday, NCS will be hosting an anti-bullying walk at Niagara Falls Whirlpool Park pavilion #1. We have reached out to various members in our community as well as local schools to help support this cause and to continue to show that NCS is and remains bully free! The FSA will be selling hot dogs and soda, 5th grade will be selling their candy bars, and 6th grade will be selling hot beverages. Don't forget to pick up your "band to bullying" bracelet. All proceeds benefit NCS. The walk consists of about a mile and a half. Thank you for your support! Remember the walk begins at 10:30. Bring your family and friends! Spread the word! Hope to see you Saturday!

Choral Counting

We are working with Choral Counting! A new math strategy that helps build math skills and patterns! This was the students FIRST time and they did an incredible job! Stay tuned for more choral counting with new math concepts in the future!

Rally Coaching at work!

FUNdraising!

Good evening and Happy November! I hope everyone is enjoying the burst of nice weather this week! We kicked off our week with a Fall Festival with games, a movie and treats! Thanks to all the parents who came out to help out! Your help is greatly appreciated!
This week we  began our first fundraiser. Each child received a box of Niagara chocolate candy bars. The fifth grade team is asking that each child try to sell the forty candy bars to help defer costs for fieldwork and upcoming events related to EL. Report cards were sent home today. Be sure to review the report with your child and return the purple form so we know that you received the report.
 We are doing our second set of benchmarks in ELA as well as in Math. This is an indication of each child's needs and where to continue teaching and what skills we have mastered. The students began working on the portfolios and reflecting on choosing an item that truly reflects their learning in "Are We Missing the Boat?"
As our expedition comes to a close soon, we ask that you stay tuned to look for our final products and join us in our presentation at the end of month as well as at Expedition Night.
Also, thank you for all the participation with recycling! Our class WON! We will be celebrating with a pizza party next week! As always, if there are any questions, feel free to contact me at the school 297-4520.
