THEME: We continue to work with inventions and will create some invisible ink and hanger inventions this week. We’re also working with matter and have conducted whole class and independent experiments. This week, we will finally begin to work with The Revolutionary War in some detail. I’ve sent students home with library permission slips if you are comfortable with having your child read mature literature please sign this and send it back in. If not, please disregard the slip altogether.

Between September 24th and October 8th we'll be conducting attendance counts. It is incredibly important that all students be present at school during this time. Please let your students know how important their attendance is for both personal and school-wide successes. There will be additional information on this time period in the Star Newsletter.

We'll also work more with inventions and you should see some invisible ink and coat hanger inventions coming home soon.
