Hope everyone enjoyed a restful break. Thanks again to those who helped, supported, and donated towards our holiday crafts and celebration...we all had a good time.
Students came in focused albeit a bit chilled Tuesday. :) They settled in for 20 solid minutes of "read to self" time. You could have heard a pin drop! I was most impressed! Making inferences and drawing conclusions is the targeted reading skill this week. In science we are learning about clouds, weather instruments, and climate. Students will create a cloud finder to help them distinguish different types of clouds. In math, we reviewed what we have learned thus far about fractions and will spend at least one more day reviewing before we jump into multiplying fractions.
On another note, please be on the look-out for a notice coming home in today's Wednesday folder indicating how much money you have paid and how much is still owed for the DC trip.
If you are opting to pay in full, then the full amount of $290.00 per person is due by January 31, 2012.
If you are continuing the payment plan, please pay the next amount of $58.00 per peron by January 18.
Also, there is a strong possibility that we may be visiting the White House. If so, then we will need some confidential information from chaperones and students for security clearance. More info to come.
DC Chaperones...today's notice also indicates whether you have completed Level 4 chaperone clearance for this school year (2011/2012). ...we will have a chaperone meeting a few weeks prior to our trip. Details coming soon.
