Max & Erma's - Tonight! Print your coupon off from the school website under Dolphin Digest attachments, and head to the Hilliard or Dublin locations to help us earn a profit. Thank you!
Student Advisory- We are busy holding our classroom elections, and the winners will be announced next week. Students were able to experience a trip to the voting polls today, complete with sign-in voter registration, a voting booth, and "I voted today" stickers!
Shoebox Science- This program started this week. Let me know if you'd like your child's name off the rotation. All students should return the boxes by Thursday morning so they can be restocked for the next student. Thanks.
Overwhelmed by tests and quizzes?? Us too! Our apologies if your child had a rough week. It was not our intent to overwhelm them with so many studies in one week. We are working together to see what we can do to 'lighten the load' and see that your child's tests are not all lumped together in the future. Thanks for your patience as we iron out the kinks!
A word about Spelling Funky... Spelling Funky will be your child's homework each Wednesday. It gives them a break from the routine of the workbook, and is merely a fun way for students to practice their words. However, I don't expect this assignment to take students longer than a usual Spelling assignment. It is a fun assignment and some students tend to go overboard with creativity! Talk with them and see what kind of time frame they have with their homework, and help them find an activity that they can finish in a timely manner. This is certainly not meant to be a big production. It's simply a way to show that they practiced their 25 words! Thank you!
Looking ahead to next week:
LA - Current Events continue, as does our work with Treasures. We will be looking at Main Idea & Details, and working on our creative writing as we discuss survival skills. In Grammar we are finishing up our study of Subjects & Predicates, and will be looking at compound sentence structures. Students will also begin writing their first RRJ this week in class.
Math - We will be looking at estimation, strategies for adding and subtracting larger numbers, and mental math.
Have a glorious weekend! Go Bucks!
-Laurie Smith
