Administrative Message Dear BridgePrep Family, .
Our Fall into a Book initiative is coming due! We could not be more proud of our students and the work they are putting into their projects. Please
be on the lookout for more wonderful academic opportunities for our steller students this school year!
Additionally, we have some Holiday events coming up. The Polar Express Movie Night will be taking place Tuesday, December 11th
. We hope our
students will enjoy watching this modern classic. The Winter Gala will be taking place Thursday, December 13th
. This Holiday program offers music,
food and a special visitor from the North Pole.
While on Winter break and enjoying the joyful season, let’s not neglect all the hard work our students have put into their education. We want our
students to continue to advance in their studies, even when on break. Just 20 minutes of reading a day in any subject and a couple of minutes
reviewing math problems is all it will take to maintain their growth. Please look for any packets that may have been provided by your teachers.
There are multiple computer programs that can aid in your child’s learning progressions, and maybe even make this time enjoyable. Some of these
programs include, IStation, Myon, Khan Academy, Achieve 3000, TenMarks, and Cool math. We hope you have a safe and enjoyable Holiday
Season.
I look forward to seeing your smiling faces when you return January 8th
.
Sincerely,
Harris and Mizzi

Welcome to 4th
grade
Greetings parents,
Can you believe December is already upon us? This year has
been so exciting time is flying by. In ELA we began our "Fall
into a Book" reading initiative. This initiative gives the
students the opportunity to give a report on any Non-fiction
book of their choice. These reports can be presented in
several ways such as diorama, a presentation, and many
more options. We are excited here at Bridge Prep Academy
to see the students let their creative minds fly!
In Social Studies we learned about Florida's role in the
Revolutionary War and about the "Pirates" that settled in
Florida! We will continue to learn about Florida's history and
the role our great state has had in the United States.
In Mathematics it is all about fractions! Fractions are an
important part of life. Fractions are all around us and are
especially used for careers like cooking, baking, a mechanic,
working in construction and so many more careers!
In Science it is all about Matter! Matter is everywhere! It also
changes quite often. Understand what matter is, why it
changes, and how it changes is an important part of learning
science.
The students have been working on a STEM Fair project
this month and is due to be completed soon. We can't
wait to see the projects our students have worked hard
to complete. Please be on the lookout for pictures on
classdojo.
Welcome to Third Grade
In November our 3rd graders wrote a Folktale that included a
superhero learning a life lesson.
In December our 3rd graders will be learning about our
Government starting with the 1st Amendment. They will also
have a Novel study where they will be learning about
different presidents and some Presidents' wives. All of our
3rd graders are excited about "Fall into a Book".
Welcome to Fifth Grade
In math we have been working on converting
units in both the customary and metric system as
well as classifying and sorting triangles and
quadrilaterals. In science we explored electricity
by building functional circuits. We also
investigated Newton’s Laws of Motion!
We are looking forward to hearing the students
Fall Into A Book Presentations this month!

my students for working so hard within the
