Busy Week Ahead!

.......... and ironically its already half over!

Tomorrow night at 7:00, don't forget the 4th and 5th grade students will be performing their annual spring musical at the PAC. Kids need to start arriving at 6:30 for warm up. There is an order form going home in mailboxes today for any parent who would like to order a DVD of the program.

Friday Field Trip

Friday moring we will leaving for our KIA/Kalamazoo Valley Museum field trip. Those who expressed interest in chaperoning should have received a chaperone info slip via your child. If you didn't...just be here at 9:00 and I'll fill you in. If you could ride the bus that would be great as we will have room. If you want to drive separately so that you won't have the echoing of little voices in your head all day from the bus ride that is also fine! Please remember to pack a lunch! Weather permitting we'll be eating in the park. If its raining, we'll eat in the bottom floor of the Kalamazoo Valley Museum.

A.R. Reading Goals

75% day is tomorrow, or Thursday. Most of the students have already reached this goal. 100% goal day is April 15th.... the day before records day.

Science

Science classes are all wrapping up the Forces and Motion unit this week. Groups A and C finished last week and turned in their orange books. The following pages will individually be receiving a grade:

pgs 1 - 4

pgs 5 - 6

pg 7

pg 8 -9

pg 12 - 13

pg 20 - 25

pg 26 - 31

pg 42 - 45

Groups B & D Will not have to do pages 20 - 25.... due to the program and the field trip in the same week, they did not have time to do these pages.

Grades are given based on completeness and restatement of answers, correctness of reporting investigation findings, spelling and neatness. Especially when the word they are misspelling is ON THE PAGE it should not be misspelled. Students were aware of these grading standards before books were turned in. They also had several opportunities to have others proof read their books for errors before turning them in. Grades will be located at the beginning of each page section. Group A's books will most likely be returned at the end of this week. Group C, B and D will be returned following spring break. Any pages receiving a low grade may be redone for a higher grade. All reworked pages MUST be turned in to me before April 16th.
