I now have the Unit 10 study guide posted for the math test on Thursday. Please take a chance to review the material with your kids. Also, I am in the process of creating an insect presentation schedule which will come home in your child's Weekly Folder next Monday.

There are only 24 days left of school, and we are finishing off the year in full force! We only have three more weeks of switching for math and literacy. We will then finish off the year with insect presentations in homeroom. I will be creating a schedule so that you may come and watch your child on his or her presentation day! =)

We won the last Chick-fil-A Spirit Night, so our class will be enjoying a chicken nugget and lemonade party on Thursday during theme time! Thanks so much to everyone who participated!

Thank you so much to the volunteers who helped with the Overnight. The kids had a great time, and thanks to you, the adults survived! It is really nice to have so much parent support!

Overnight

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 14:16:04 GMT

Please make sure that you turn in the $15.00 fee, field trip permission slip, and movie permission slip for the overnight! The kids are getting excited, and I think we will have lots of fun (and be exhausted)! Thank you to everyone who signed up to volunteer. I will make sure to have a list of volunteers in Monday's newsletter. Have a great weekend!

Update 2/25

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:12:57 GMT

Please note that the end of the second trimester is this Friday, February 29th. Please check PowerSchool to make sure that your child has turned in any missing assignments. Report cards will be sent out sometime in mid to late March. On Monday we will begin a new specials rotation with Spanish and Computers!

Many of the students have been picking up on the current adult issues surrounding the school. It is hard as a teacher to field and discuss some of their questions, and I don’t feel it is appropriate for me to talk to them as a class. I do want you to be aware that they are overhearing parents discussing things, so that you may speak to them as you feel it is necessary.

Please note that my role at Stargate is first and foremost being a teacher. I am not in a position to discuss my personal views or your personal views on the political climate. It puts me in an awkward situation. As a parent I hope that you will respect this. I care about each and every one of your children and want what is best for them. Thank you!

Update 1/10

I hope that everyone had a wonderful vacation and has been able to get back into the routine of things. We have picked up right where we left off, and it has been so nice being with the kids again. The Moon Phases Calendar homework was due Monday, January 7. If your child has not returned it yet, it can still be turned in for partial credit. On Monday, January 14 I will be sending home their next assignment. It is not due until Monday, January 28. This Tuesday we will be taking a field trip to Fiske Planetarium. Please remember to send your student to school with a sack lunch that day. I look forward to visiting with all of you at conferences. See you soon!
