Wax Museum Project

We are starting out Wax Museum project this coming Monday. Before Friday, please sit down with your child to read over and sign the Wax Museum Contract. Have your child keep this signed contract in their homework binder at all times. This way, whether at home or school, they can refer back to it for requirements and due dates.

They have a bright pink copy of the contract but in case you need an extra please click below link:

New Units Starting

Wow, it was a crazy end of 2016 and beginning of 2017. With all the weather issues it feels like we're just now, in the first week of February, finally getting back in the grove of school.

Not only are we getting back in the rhythm but this week we are starting several new units. We're starting a new math unit, geometry, and we're starting a new social studies unit, Oregon's Native Tribes. These are both fun and engaging units with a lot of hands on activities. Make sure to check your child's planner for more details about the actives they're doing and the specifics they're learning.

Planners

Parents,
We have a new way of using our planners! We started this new way last week, so hopefully your child has shown you, as they've all assured me they have. We are now write down what we did that day under the various subjects. Below is my example that the kids see and copy from the board. Mine may look a little different than your child's, particularly in math, as I write what all three classes did, the kids just write what their class did. This at times happens in reading as well, as some groups read different stories. Nevertheless, you will be able to look at your child's planner nightly and see what they did that particular day.
