COGATs, Conferences, and Project

COGATs are over! The students were super focused and well behaved. Ask your child what the test was like. It's actually pretty neat!

 

Lots of important papers are coming home today. The first is a conference sheet. These sheet are stapled into your child's agenda. Please sign and return this form as soon as possible that way if we need to reschedule accommodations can be made. Conference week begins October 19. This will also be early early release. 

Students are also bringing home a paper explaining their Benjamin Franklin project . This project is Due on October 12th. Students are to choose one of his contributions to represent ans write about it. They will present these to the class . 

Lastly, there is an opportunity for practice and pre teaching our next math concept. We will be working with a 120 chart next week. I'm sending a chart and activities home for practice over the weekend. There are of choices for practice. I asked that students complete 5 (with your help) and return their sheet on Monday for a treat!  

Reflections

Reflections Contest

Are you an incredible dancer? An insanely skilled filmmaker?

Are you great at capturing the perfect image in a photograph?

Are you intensely musical or an awesome illustrator?

Then consider entering the PTSA’s Reflections Contest.

Each year the PTSA sponsors an arts contest designed so that you can showcase your talents in one of six artistic areas:

Dance choreography, Film production, Literature, Musical Composition, Photography and Visual Arts

All you have to do is submit an original piece in one of the six categories that is inspired by the theme:

“Let Your Imagination Fly”

That piece will be judged at the school level and the winners in each category will receive award certificates and medals. Winning pieces will then be submitted to the county and or state level for further judging.

Pick up a packet for further information on the categories, rules and entry forms. Don’t delay-projects are due by October 14^th.

Grandparent's Day

Thank you so much to our wonderful grandparent readers! The students had such a good time hearing you read and your funny stories! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedules to come in and spend time with us.

In the science lab this week we continued to learn about tools to measure the weather. This week we made thermometers and practiced reading real thermometers.

In class we focused on the water cycle and created one of our own.
