Reminder: School resumes Tuesday, January 13th
I hope you all had a refreshing and relaxing Winter Break! We'll be jumping back into school-mode Tuesday. I know it's difficult to get back on track, but please be sure to get students to class on time and ready to learn!
Take a look at the Class Wishlist on the right side of the page - we are in need of some school supplies. Any donations will be greatly appreciated.
Optional Extra-Credit assignments are due Tuesday. Check the previous post for more information.
Keep an eye out for a fieldtrip permission slip (San Juan Bautista Mission - February 3rd) and a new Scholastic book order.
This week we will...
...begin a unit on Rocks and Minerals. For the next few weeks we'll be learning all about the different types of rocks and minerals and the rock cycle. Check out the Links section for some kid-friendly websites.
...review for the next Language Arts district assessment, which we'll be taking next week. We'll also practice writing descriptive essays, which will also be a part of the assessment in coming weeks.
...continue with Long-Division! It is essential that students have memorized the multiplication facts - please practice these at home!
...have our first session in the new Computer Lab! Before break we had an orientation session, and now we are ready to start using the computers. Our regular time will be Thursdays from 1:00-2:00. If any parents are interested in volunteering their time to help out in the computer lab during that time, let me know. On the Rio home page in the Classroom Blog section there is a link to Diane Sampson's page, where you can learn more about the Computer Lab.
