Snow Creek

Please make sure that your child is equipped for tomorrow. (hat, gloves, etc.) If they only have cloth gloves, be sure to wrap them in duct tape otherwise they will be eaten up by the tow rope. A hot dog, chips and a drink is what they will get for lunch, if they want anything else they will need to bring money. Electronics may be taken but they will need to be left on the bus. I caution you because the bus will not be locked.

Win for KC

If your child is participating in this, everything is due on Tuesday (February 1).

Launch of Magazine Sales

Today students got a booklet and a note explaining the magazine sales. If they fill this out and bring it back tomorrow, they will get 2 prizes. I know it seems like a lot to do it in one evening but they do need to be turned in tomorrow. Students do not have to sell ANYTHING, simply fill out the booklet and your job is done!

PTO Basket

The sixth grade has spoken! They have chosen to collect items for a "Family Fun Night" basket, to auction off at the Basketball game on February 11th. (Baskets need to be ready by the 10th.) The money raised will go to the PTO. If it is possible, we would love it if you could donate items or money for the basket. You may donate anything from movies and games to drinks and snacks. We have had many students say they would like to bring popcorn, this is fine but we don't want to have 35 students bringing popcorn.

We will be sending notes home this week!

I forgot to mention...

If you wanted to meet with both of us 6th grade teachers, you may call Phyllis and set up another time as well as your original time.

Parent Teacher Conferences

You should be receiving your scheduled time for parent teacher conferences this afternoon, as we are sending them home with students today. If the scheduled does not work, please call the office and reschedule a time that works better for you.

Vocabulary Test

With all of these snow days I feel like we are way behind! With that being said and with the assumption that we are done with snow days for the year, (hopefully) we will be having our next science test on Thursday, January 27th. This is the day before we go skiing next week, so hopefully that will help keep the kids focused next week! This will only be over the vocabulary of this chapter. Please help your student remember key words in the definitions rather than verbatim memorization. Have great weekend!

Slideshow

I have spent this snow day working on the website! Students have been asking me since we got back from Christmas break if I had gotten their Geometry Pictures on the website yet! I finally figured it out and I finally get to tell them YES! :) If you go to my website (http://www.usd486.org/webpages/alorenz/index.cfm) and click on "slideshows" one will pop up. You do need a password to look at it, that password is "lorenz". I will try to post some new slideshows soon! Enjoy! :)
