Good Evening All!!
We had an amazing trip today. We traveled with nearly 100 4th and 5th graders! ALL the students behaved wonderfully, the weather was perfect, and we experienced salmon in a natural environment, as well as in the hatchery. This experience will give the students a great point of reference as we raise salmon in our classrooms over the next few months. A big thank you to Chris Evans for leading this trip! It was also an amazing way to kick off the school year.
On another note, the 4/5 curriculum night has been postponed until September 29th. This will allow parents who have primary and intermediate students the opportunity to visit both teachers. Also, be sure to mark October 9th and 16th as NO SCHOOL days.
Homework this week includes reading 20 minutes, 5 nights during the week. I handed out the new reading log today. Click here if your student didn't get one. This weeks reading log is DUE MONDAY, SEPT. 28, 2009. Students should be half way through their book report book. Don't forget, puppets are due October 5th.
We are beginning our formal reading program this week. Our theme this week is mysteries. Our vocabulary words include allergies, consideration, anxious, suspicious, consume, accuse, and assignment. If you would like to practice the words and definitions, click here and have fun! Try the voice recognition game, it is amazing!!! :-)
Have a wonderful week!
