Volunteer Opportunity:
Mrs. Edwards, our music teacher, is in need of some parent volunteers to help the fifth graders decorate their shirts for the fall musical coming in November. If you are available from 10:15 to 11:00 on Mondays (our class music day) or another day during the weeks of October 10 and/or 17, please let me know as soon as possible.
Homework Update:
Spelling: We DO have a list this week and will test on Thursday, but we DO NOT have a contract due. We are trying something for a week or so due to the consistently great scores many students are receiving in spelling. I think our time can be better spent on other areas of need. However, I will reassess this for the second nine weeks which begins October 10.
Reading:
We have an assignment tonight--page 27-28 due Tuesday.
Math:
We had Acuity assessments today during our math time, so we DO NOT have math homework tonight!
Science:
Moon Journals (September calendar) is due Friday with drawings of the moon each night. If you did not see the moon or forgot to look, as I did some nights, please try to search the newspaper or Internet for the results. (If your student goes to Math Lab, he or she does not have this task.)
Social Studies:
Midwest Regions quiz on Friday over the states and their capitals. We went over this information together today, so each student should have the correct information to study for Friday. (If you student goes to Reading Lab, he or she does not have this task.)
