Week #4!

Sorry we didn't do a week 3 posting..... things got a little crazy busy here last week!

All Classes

Our first visit to the OEC ( Outdoor Education Center) will be Next Friday, October 8th. Students have already been told to dress for the weather, but we will continue with reminders until the day that we go. We will be at the OEC all day so students will either need to pack a lunch or they will have needed to select "school lunch" on the permission slip that you signed for them at the beginning of the year.

Field Trip

All three fifth grade classes will be attending an artist education show by Michael Moshun on Wednesday, December 8th at 12:15. This will be a chaperone free trip due so the number of seats that are available at the show. Students will eat lunch early at Sunset and then depart for the Kalamazoo civic center.

Picture Day this Wednesday, Sept. 29th!

A.R. Goals

A.R. goals for this marking period have already been set and the 25% goal has already passed.

The 50% goal is October 7th.

The 75% goal is October 25th

The 100% goal is November 4th.

Kids will want to make sure they reach their 100% goal this time! We're have an amazing yo yo performer come in. He is awesome!

Science!

In science all students should have by now completed sets 1 -4 of their term cards. In addition to practice times in the classroom, students will need to be studying these words every night as they have a TEST on Friday over sets 1 - 4. All students have been informed of this, and the test date is written on the back board... so don't accept any excuses on Thursday night when they claim they "didn't know they had a test!"

Science and Social Studies

Science students will begin Social studies classes and social studies students will begin their 4 week science rotation on Monday, October 11th. Orange science books will continue to be used AFTER the current science students finish their 4 week social studies unit, so please make sure that these do not get lost! If you see it ( "Forces and Motion" is the title) laying around at home, please send it back to school and encourage them to keep in in their desks!

Thanks!
