Dear Brown School Families,

We are excited to share that we are collaborating with a new company for our School Pictures this year!  Josten's Photography will be here on Friday, September 29th, to take your child's pictures.  Ordering this year will be a little different than in years past.  Instead of purchasing in advance, you will be able to view your child's photo and then purchase, if desired.  Picture retake day is scheduled for Monday, October 23rd.  An email from Josten's should be coming to you soon in regards to the new process and how to order.  Should you have any questions, please contact the office at (269) 926-3500.

Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!

SPANISH CLUB

I am so excited to announce that this year we will be having Spanish Club with both 4th and 5th grade! Students had the opportunity to sign up this week and we will begin the first week of October meeting on Wednesdays during lunch. If your student has not signed up and would like to please have them talk to me. Spanish Club does have some work that needs to be completed at home so we can ensure the best learning experience! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.

Section overview

Section Learning Goals

  • Find the volume of a figure composed of rectangular prisms.

Section narrative

In this section, students apply their understanding of volume to solve real-world and mathematical problems. They encounter solid figures that are composed of two or more right rectangular prisms, which reinforces their understanding of the additive nature of volume.

Students also work with side lengths that are larger than those in earlier sections, prompting them to activate multiplication strategies from earlier grades. The work reminds students that they can decompose multi-digit factors by place value to find their product, paving the way toward the standard algorithm for multiplication in a later unit.

  Monday, October 30 Tuesday, October 31 Fall Parties Costume Parade 1st-5th @ 3:15 on playground It's been a tradition in my class that the students donate a dollar or two and we order Little Caser's pizza, breadsticks, and soda. However, they are allowed to bring in snacks as well. We have 29 kiddos. Our party will consist of Minecraft Education and other school-appropriate games. The day is so hectic that we only have about an hour to have a party. It will be broken up into segments. The students will eat pizza and socialize from 1:15-1:45. We will have our afternoon switch (science and social studies) from 1:45-2:15. The party will resume around 2:45. Reminders: Halloween reminders: Costumes can be worn to school so long as they are appropriate - no weapons, gore, or masks during the day (masks can be worn during the parade) Halloween parade at 3:15. We will take one slow loop around the track for everyone to see, grab some pictures, and then head back inside. Wednesd...
