 From the Principal's Desk
Dear Suwanee Families,
 
I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Please mark your calendar and plan to join us tomorrow evening for our first annual Arts and International Family Night from 6-8pm at Suwanee Elementary. The evening will begin with a ceremony to recognize our Reflections contest winners and participants. We will have several family oriented workshops, live performances and student art work on display. We will also have a special performance celebrating Korean dance and music. Students and families are encouraged to wear authentic clothing to represent their culture. Please join us for this fun filled event!
 
As we prepare for the winter holiday season, please refrain from parking in the bus lane during the school day. It is also important that you check in and secure a visitors badge from the front office. Taking these small steps will help our staff in a big way!
world
Warmly, 

Dr. Kimberly Smith

     Curriculum & Instruction from the Assistant Principals


Our second graders are beginning their Math Units on fractions. They are working hard at understanding the concepts of equal and not equal, using manipulatives, individual work on white boards and comparison and contrast. They are also learning to use fractions to represent parts of a whole. Using pictures and models, they are identifying and relating fractions with an emphasis on halves and fourths.
