What a Month!

We have had such a busy October! Thank you all for participating in Red Ribbon Week! We've learned all about living drug free. This next month we have a Veteran's Day holiday and Thanksgiving Break.

A Few Notes...

I wanted to remind you about some things that are coming up. First thing, picture orders need to be turned into me by Friday October 1st if you plan on ordering. Also, McTeacher's Night is coming up on Thursday at McDonald's on Hwy 196. Your child brought home a yellow notice for this today.

Have a great night!

Study Guides

Your child has a study guide for Science and Math. Every night he or she should be studying his or her study guides. This is homework EVERY NIGHT. By studying these guides, your child will have a better understanding of the information. If your child is not bringing home his or her study guides, please remind him or her of the need for studying those skills and bringing home those study guides. If you have any questions about this, then please let me know through an email or posting below; however, I will post an image of what the study guides should look like for Science and Math soon.

Have a great night!

Calendars

I hope everyone had a wonderful August! As we enter a new month, I have decided to not continue getting homework folders signed every night. This means that if you have a note for me, you can write one on a separate sheet of paper, or you can put it in the agenda for me to see. Thank you all so much for making this a wonderful beginning to the school year and I look forward to seeing all of you at Open House on Thursday between 6 and 7.

Welcome Back to a New School Year!

We have wonderful things to accomplish this year and I'm looking forward to working with all of you. I will update this blog throughout the year with pictures, slideshows, homework helps, and any important information that you might need to know as either a parent or a student. Please feel free to comment and make this a "classroom" blog.

Last Day

Today is the last day of school and I just wanted to remind you of a few things. If you bought a graduation shirt you can wear that today; however, if you did not, then you can wear a plain gold shirt or your uniform for the graduation ceremony. If you want to dress down but do not have a graduation shirt or gold shirt, then you will need to bring your clothes to change into for after the ceremony. Also, bookbags are still not allowed on campus. Have a wonderful day everybody!

CRCT

We're a little over halfway through with the CRCT and I'm proud of how hard everyone is working. Keep up the good work!

Working toward a healthier class

In an effort to teach the students how to eat healthier, I am encouraging students to bring in healthy snacks that they can share with the class during a midday break. Some suggestions for students to bring in would be: fruit, vegetables, yogurt, dry healthy cereal, cheese sticks, raisins, and granola bars. If you have any other suggestions about healthy snacks or you have a question, then please leave a comment. Thanks for your help in making healthy students!

5th Grade Writing Assessment

I know it's hard to believe, but we are one day from taking the statewide writing assessment. Students: Get a good night's sleep and eat a healthy breakfast. You are all prepared and I know that you all will do your best. Parents: talk to your child about any worries they might have and the importance of doing their best.
