Looking Ahead to Another Busy Week

I hope you all had a great weekend and were able to get out and enjoy the weather because it looks like it is about to change tonight/tomorrow. I think we may wake up to some white stuff tomorrow. Please dress for the weather. Last week was a great start to Red Ribbon Week. Friday there were lots of sweats in the building as we showed support to "no sweat to drugs". We also were thrilled to have Agent Dunlap come to us and talk about his job and how he enjoys doing exactly what Kiki Camerena was doing when his life ended way to abruptly. Agent Dunlap also left us with the all important message of staying in school, getting an education, and using positive character traits. Tomorrow is "be bright-don't do drugs" --wear neon colors. We have 2 more guest speakers this week-some students on Tuesday and the students from Skyview that are part of the SADD group. Also, on Wednesday, Mr. English and the Student Council will have an assembly for all of us. I hope you had a great time at the Pumpkin Patch Party on Friday if you went. If you took any pictures, send them to me and I can post them on the blog. Thank you-also if you went, write Pumpkin Patch Party in the planner for free money. Thursday will be filled with Halloween theme activities in most subject areas. We will have fun, but still focus on learning. Curriculum Objectives for the week are: Math: algebraic equations, along with multiplication computation strategies. Lead 21: author's purpose, sequencing, figurative language, and point of view with the writing component. Science: finishing up our water cycle unit and the realistic fiction stories that you are writing at home. Once we have all parts done, they will write their published copy to be on display at Conferences along with the projects they made. Remember to keep editing each part --a huge thank you for that. Social Studies: Geography Challenge for the Northeast and starting the tour. Montana History: Montana's counties & govt. Language: Verb tenses OOOOPS!!!! As many of you noticed on Thursday I sent home the goldenrod colored conference slips home by mistake. I wasn't thinking when I put them on Kaitlin's desk to be put into mailboxes. I meant to only put on the small one with the early out dates on it. So please don't think you made a mistake-it was me. We teachers meet tomorrow (Monday) and set up the conference schedule so I will be sending the correct one home to you on Tuesday. We enjoyed hearing all about Grace as our Student of the Week-I didn't know she knew so much about chickens. Loved the colored eggs. Have a great rest of the weekend and I am looking forward to a great week.
