Lunch Menu Change

Tomorrow  Chicken Quesadillas will be served instead of Ravioli.  

Extra Credit

Last Thursday I gave my morning class the opportunity for 15 points extra credit that they may apply to either math or science. They must read a small book about planets and write a summary. It will be due this Wednesday. My afternoon class will have the same opportunity, but theirs will be due next Wednesday as I do not have enough books for both classes at the same time.

New Due Date

The due date for the science posters will be Friday (March 4). Students will have some time to work on their posters over the next couple of days in class.

Science Poster

We were shooting for March 1st as a due date for weather posters, but I am sure we will push it back at least a day or two. I'll let you know when I decide for sure. (We'll see how this week goes.) The rubric is posted on my website under "my resources". Please note that the students must have a specific example and four resources, at least one of those resources need to be out of a book. Our library has plenty of books, so this should not be a problem. If your child does any research at home, make sure they write down the title, website, author and copyright date (if available) down so they can site their sources.

Valentine Party

Our Valentine party will be Monday at 2:00. This will be a combined party with both classes. We will have a movie going in Mrs. Montford's room and games in my room. Students will be able to choose which they would like to participate in.

With all the snow days we do not have time to make boxes at school, so if students want to have one for their cards, they need to make it at home. Students are not obligated to bring cards or boxes. If you would like to send treats with your child, that would be appreciated. Students may also bring a drink for the party, but we do ask that they have a screw on lid to eliminate spills.

Reminders

Wow! Where did January go? This is just a couple of reminders.....
1) If your child is planning on doing Win for KC, the deadline is tomorrow morning.
2) Because of the snow days we haven't had much time to prepare but the PTO silent auction is this Friday. Therefor, all basket items need to be at school by Thursday. The 6th grade is doing a "Family Fun Night" theme. So far we have nothing for our basket, so we would appreciate any donations!
