LANGUAGE ARTS: It was great to meet so many parents of my Lang Arts students. Thank you for taking the time to come to Curriculum Night. The students received their Book Project Packet instructions on Friday. Many of the students have made their first book choice, had it approved by me and have started reading. The first book project will be due October 13. We will start the novel Island of the Blue Dolphins on Monday. There will be reading assignments for homework this week. We will also continue to study complete subjects and predicates in sentences.
MATH: Thank you to the parents who came to Curriculum night last Thursday. It was great to meet the parents of my math students. You should have seen the family letter for unit one last week. This letter contains vocabulary the students will be learning during this unit. The answers to homework assignments can also be found on the last page of the letter. They are for parent use only. Students should work the problems and parents can use these to check for accuracy when checking your student’s homework. Please check my web calendar or your student’s planner for homework assignments.
THEME: Our field trip to Roxborough State Part is this Tuesday, Sept. 16. Students need a sack lunch, filled water bottle, hat, sunblock, comfortable walking shoes and clothing appropriate for the weather. We will be leaving Stargate by 8:45 AM and returning at 2:00 PM. We will be looking at geological evidence when we are down there. We will also be doing some fun activities related to earthquakes this week. Friday, Sept. 19 is a teacher workday. There is no school for students that day.
