Update - October 12

Hello Parents,

Conferences continue this week. Our picture day is this Tuesday. 

Click here to access Warner's Haunt page. It will be a lot of fun and we need everyone's help. If you have not yet done so, please sign up to work a shift. All families are needed! Click here to visit the Sign Up Genius page. If you signed up at Back to School morning, but do not see your name, please sign up again.

This week we will catch-up on unfinished assignments. We will not have a new word part set, spelling, or vocabulary quiz. Instead, we will spend time making up assignments and retaking any word part quizzes (optional - if they did not score 100%).

Homework for the week:

• Reading Log and response.
• Science: Students will watch a video of a portion of Friday's science lab with Ms. Taylor. They will write a paragraph about what they learned and post it on my site. If your child does not have access to a computer to type the paragraph and post it on the blog, please have him or her let me know early in the week. I will make my computer available after school or make other arrangements. The organization and writing of the paragraph should first be done on paper. This assignment is posted on the Science page (click, "What was the big idea in Science Lab?" and then "Homework - Science Lab: October 10") or click here to go straight there.
• Math: Problem Solving Tasks (4)
• Math: Students will be given paper to make a poster showing all of the factors and at least ten multiples of a given number. (They will be given their number on Monday after we discuss the terms "prime and composite.") Click here for more information.

The deadline to sign your child up for the April 17th Sacramento trip is this Wednesday, October 15. Only the registration fee is due then. A lottery to choose the parent chaperones will be held in December.

Have a great week!
Christina Polay
