Wow-the creative juices are flowing!!! These kids are doing an amazing job on their water cycle stories and the best part is they are loving it. I have not had kids this exciting for writing in a long time. Great job Team Hankins!! Today they shared them with a partner again and then we picked 2 to share with the class. They were terrific. Tonight is the final night of this writing project. They are going to "precipitate" and go back to "collection" just like they started on Monday. Parents: Tonight is the BIG night and where I/we need your help. We talked today about having their stories totally reading for publishing tomorrow. These will be shared and on display for others to read. I would like you to go through their whole story with them and check for spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and word usage/grammar. Not if, but when you do, please write "checked" in the planner and your child will earn quite a large "sum" of money tomorrow!!!
Also, tomorrow is picture day. Come with those smiles and we have ours scheduled for 8:45.
Today the students had their Personal Safety lessons with Mrs. Salazar & Ms. Buss. A blue sheet came home today about it so I hope you use it for some discussion.
We didn't get to do the XtraMath today as the site was down, but hopefully it works tonight for you. If your child does it, write Math in the planner for free money.
Tomorrow is buddies also. We are helping them with a leaf animal project so we need to collect leaves; all shapes, sizes, and colors to help them create an animal. These are to be kept moist in a bag to keep them from crinkling. These are so awesome and fun to see the creativity once again.
Fundraiser envelopes: These are not due tomorrow. They are due on Monday, October 17th so you have the weekend yet to collect donations. I am giving $50 for every donation received.
Our field trip to the NILE is on Monday, October 17th.
Speaking of field trips: I am looking for volunteers to come to the jail with us on Friday, October 28th. We leave school at 8:40 and return around 11:30. We need volunteers as they split us into groups and we need adult supervision with each group. Thank you.
We do have our meteorologist scheduled to come on Wednesday morning. She is from KULR-8.
Reminder: Next week on Wednesday is Early out-12:00 dismissal and remember No School on Thurs. and Friday of next week.
Have a great night.
