Halloween!
Our 5th grade Halloween party will immediately follow the parade on October 30th ( Remember the 31st is records day)
All 5th graders will be assembling in the cafeteria for a treat and
drink buffet. Parents can bring anything that you would like to (drink
or food) and are NOT required to bring enough for all 3 classes. We find
that enough people bring a classroom set of something for the kids to
have a lot to choose from. For example if one parent brings in a bag of
chips, another will bring in 25 brownies, another 25 cookies etc. And 2
liters are easy if you just want to bring juice or a drink. Whatever
you would like to donate is fine.
While the kids
are munching we will have a ticket auction and they can bid on and win
any of the items that we'll have available for them. We'll explain the
bidding process to them, but many of them have already seen storage wars
or other type auction shows and are pretty familiar with how this goes.
The Midwest region test is ALSO on this same day during switch in their social studies class.
There
will be a blank map and a "key" with all the state names .. you can
actually go online and google "blank midwestern states map" and print
out some nice practice sheets for your student to practice.
If
all states are spelled (there is a key!) correctly and labeled
correctly they will earn a 3.0. If however they are able to list as
many capitol and major cities (these must be spelled correct too) for
those same states they can earn a 4.0 WITH an extra credit point that
can be applied to any other upcoming states test that they might not do
so well on.
And FINALLY.... next week is Red Ribbon
week. On Monday all students will have an anti bullying assembly in
which a magician will perform working anti bullying into his work.
Wednesday
the 29th, all students will travel the the PAC to catch a 10:25 musical
preview of the middle school play. We should return at about 11:10.
Buell's class will be traveling to the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts and
then to the Kalamazoo Valley Museum that day due to the fact that her
room will be torn apart as the district installs new document cameras
etc in her room. So there will be no "switch" that day. As Mrs.
Vandermei and I find out when our installation day is going to be, we
will also schedule the same field trip for our students. I'll try to
give you at least a 2 week heads up in case anyone would like to
chaperone this trip.
Conference forms will come
home tomorrow..... The return date says Friday but I've been switching
some people around last minute so as long as I have it by Tuesday of
next week, that is fine.
That's it! Thanks so much!
