Parent Information Nights

I kept my fingers crossed for rain throughout the day and each time the sun broke through the clouds I regretted canceling our trip. The forecast, however, is for continued rain tonight and a cold and wet day tomorrow. I think canceling was the right call. I look forward to scheduling an alternative overnight trip in either the winter or the spring. This Friday, we’ll head to Mt. Monadnock. The weather promises to be beautiful.

You may have seen the following announcement in the last Wednesday Notice. I’ve attached the pertinent information as it pertains to fifth grade.

Parent Information Nights

On October 4th and 6th The Grammar School will host our annual Parent Information Nights, formerly called Curriculum Nights. We have renamed and refocused these evenings for two reasons. First, the faculty has realized that our curriculum, in whole and in part, is available and well spelled out in our Curriculum Guide on our website and via Teacher Pages.

Secondly, a Parent Information Night allows the faculty to disseminate important, timely, and topical information related to, and in some cases beyond, the curriculum and allows for questions and answers.

This year's Parent Information Nights will be as follows:
On Tuesday, October 4 at 6:30 pm, teachers of kindergarten through 5th grade will focus on mathematics in their classrooms. We hope you will come join us for an informational evening that will provide a hands-on opportunity to experience a math lesson in your child's class, as well as an overview of mathematic topics at your child's grade level. Classroom time will be followed by an opportunity to listen to short presentations by the teachers of Art, French, Music, and Library.

I look forward to seeing you at the Parent Information Night and to sharing some of the math materials and manipulatives currently being used in the classroom.
