It's Crunch Time! Field Trip, Hall of Fame, Walking Taco Party

I hope you all enjoyed your nice, long weekend!  Although the weather was not perfect, as is today, but it was nice to have a little time to relax with family and friends.  Now...back at it!

Hopefully everyone returned their Biography Project today.  We will be starting to write our presentations today as well as start experimenting with downloading pictures for our Animoto movies.  We were suppose to have one of the computer labs to use all week, but Jr. High is not done with MAPs testing so we will have to wait a week to start.  :(  If your child did not bring his/her biography project (book and notes) back today, please do so tomorrow so he/she does not get behind.  Look for more information in the future about attending our Hall of Fame to meet these wonderful people of the past.

The deadline for mastering your multiplication facts is this Friday.  I will try and squeeze in a lot of testing, as will my senior seminar student, before the end of the week.  So....there are A LOT of students who have a long ways to go.  I hope there are many more who will be able to participate in our "Walking Taco" party!  Keep practicing those facts!

This Friday we will be taking a small field trip to Vernon to participate in various stations/activities for Arbor Day.  Although at this time the weather sounds great, please pay attention to the forecast.  It is recommended that students dress in layers, as it starts out chilly and may warm up throughout the day.  Students should NOT wear shorts, capris, or open toed shoes!  Please wear jeans or running pants and tennis shoes.  Students may bring hats if they would like as well.  We will be taking sack lunches from the school so students do not have to worry about bringing a lunch from home.  Depending on the weather, you may want to be sure to put sunscreen on your child if he/she burns easily.  If it is sunny and not muddy, we will be outside for most of the day.


Have a great week and stay warm!
