Online Book Project Update:
We are in the home stretch! All students must be finished typing their books online by next Friday, 2/25. Since students are losing computer class with President's Day next week, and Valentine Parties this past week, any time you can dedicate at home to helping get this typed is appreciated. I'll also take any volunteers who would like to come in and help with typing during the following times next week:
Tuesday 2/22 9:43 - 10:22 4A in Computer Lab
Tuesday 2/11 10:24 - 11:03 4B in Computer Lab
If you forgot to send your order form in today, students received a reprint. Please submit ASAP and we'll add you to the group order.
In other news, we received an email today that our class books, 'Christmas Is...' have been shipped! We expect those to arrive within the week!
Thanks for all of your assistance with this project. It's a new process for me, and quite an undertaking. The students are excited about their writing and excited to be helping JOIN. I know in the end it will all be worthwhile. I appreciate your support!
Division Test - will be Wednesday 2/23. We will review in class on Tuesday. Students received a review guide yesterday and should complete over the weekend and bring to class on Tuesday with any questions they have. Following division we will be looking at elapsed time, graphs, and geometry.
Invention Convention News- Students received info this week and must sign a commitment form by next Friday 2/25 to participate. The St. Brendan Invention Convention will be held March 23. Any parent who would like to judge should let me know at lwsmith@cdeducation.org. Thanks!
Interims will be mailed next Friday for students receiving an N in any standard areas. We have been busy in LA with our book project and Frindle work, so there are not many grades at this time. Keep an eye on your child's Friday Folder, and if you see N's or patterns of N's, then please note these are the areas your child needs extra help in. As always, feel free to email me if you have a specific concern. Thanks!
James & the Giant Peach
