Today all students received a permission slip and information about the Amish Acres field trip on May 21. Please read the information carefully. The permission slip, waiver form, medical form (on other side of waiver) are due May 21. This trip is always a fun day for students and staff! We have enough staff to cover the trip, and I will ask for volunteers if we need parent coverage. Thank you!
Our ISTEP block scheduling begins next week. Next week is in math, and students will be testing with their math class. Monday students will have periods 1, 2, and 3 only. Tuesday will be periods 4, 5, and 6. Each class will be about two hours long. Lunch times will vary between 12:00 and 12:30.
Students, remember your reading books!
Today we covered the purpose of using parentheses, dashes, colon and commas in writing. Students learned the difference that these simple punctuation marks can make for a reader. Some bring strength to the meaning of words, others don't. If you were absent you can get notes from a classmate when you return. Most classes had time to get onto their research papers and revise with creative punctuation!
H/W:
- I am looking for the research books to be finalized by the next Thursday or Friday. I am so excited to see the fantastic books you have been writing!
- Amish Acres permission slip, waiver, and money ($18.50) due Monday, May 11.
- If you received an orange packet from me, return the paper with a parent signature and bring your lunch on Tues.
Have a great weekend! Rest up for ISTEP on Monday!
