Homework:
It looks like I am able to access this schoolnotes.com account now. I am sorry I was not able to update the account at all last week.
That communication lapse may have led to an increase in late work. Please check your child's student planner and homework folder with them so you know what work they need to complete each day. Today I had many students in at all three recesses completing late work and I will not provide that time in the future.
Reading: Read and Respond. November Reading Goal: complete a biography and complete the book report assignment. Presentations will be on November 19 and 20th.
Math: Timed test corrections. Extra credit- play closest to 100 game at home tonight with a parent or friend to earn an extra "4" on an assignment. The number cards needed for the game can be cut out of your workbook.
Spelling: Missed words from your pretest written 5 times each. Test Friday.
Writing/Science: The first 5 paragraphs of your comparing the salmon lifecycle to the human lifecycle need to be complete by tomorrow. (Salmon: eggs, alevin, par, smolt, adult, spawner. Humans: developing baby, baby, toddler/child, teen, adult, senior citizen.)
Reminder: Field trip to the cove for our salmon trip Friday morning at 9:05. We will return to Marvista for lunch. Parent drivers. Tomorrow all driver clearance forms need to be turned in. The district has just let us know that groups larger than 20 will no longer be allowed to have parent drivers. This will effectively end parent driver field trips for us and will mean the cancelation of field trips due to the cost of charter bus transportation. I have not received official word of why the decision was made and am very sorry to have to report it.
Assembly: Our class did a nice job performing for the Veteran's Day assembly. Ask your child about it.
