Welcome
back to German week!
We
are now in week 2 of our second Unit
"How
we Organize Ourselves"
_________________________________________
We've
ended our first unit and, as a reflection, we sent home a sheet on Friday to
revisit your child's favorite activities and see what they remember! Please
turn it back in with homework (at the latest) so we can reflect as a grade
level on our student's responses.

OCTOBER CHALLENGE
is being Cooperative
Each month we will send home a "challenge" which is for you to practice at home. You do not have to participate but for those that do find it helpful the calendar that is attached if for you to keep track on- we do not put any of the stickers on at school- they are to be earned at home. You will return the calendar at the end of the month to whichever teacher you are with that week. Please let us know if you have any questions!
