Happy November to you all! Can you believe that it is this time already?
I thought I better up-date you on a few events that are coming up in the next couple of weeks. First of all, I would like to tell you about the Green Ribbon Week that starts this Friday, Nov. 5. It is kind of like Red Ribbon Week, only it deals with things like eating smart, staying active and being safe. We will start this off with an assembly on Friday, where the students will receive their bracelets for the week. The students have to wear these bracelets in order to get their awards each day of the week, so please remind them to put them on each day. Green Day will be Monday, Nov.8. Students are to wear green to school with their bracelets, as well. Tuesday, Nov. 9. Students are to wear yellow, along with their bracelet. Wednesday, Nov.10, students are to wear red and bracelet. On Thursday, Nov. 11, students will wear orange, along with their bracelet, and on Friday, Nov. 12, students will wear purple. There will be little activities the students will do each day of the week, as well, to learn the lessons of being healthy, and staying active. It should be a lot of fun.
We also have our Share Fair coming up. The Share Fair will be on Mon., Nov.22 at 2:00 and will go until 3:15. This activity is a lot of fun and allows students to research there heritage and to learn about their ancestors. Students will get all of their information at school, so be looking for those letters to come home. The letters will explain what students will need to have on their posters and how you can put the whole presentation together. Be sure to contact me if you have any questions. My students should have taken their interview questions home already. They have until Fri., Nov. 12, to get interview done and questions handed into me. Once they have the interview finished they can write up their document form by turning their question answer paper into answers only. Students can be as creative as they want to be with their posters. If you would like to come in to see some of the posters we have kept, from past students, please feel free to do so.
We have another Worker's Holiday coming up on the 19th, so please make sure you child is staying caught up on their assignments, so they can qualify for this.
In our subjects right now we are learning about Matter in Science, The Constitution, in S.S. In reading we are starting a new Novel, as well as doing fluency centers and dibels. In math we just took a test on dividing with single digit numbers and prime and composite numbers. In spelling the students are on list number 6. In Language we are practicing our 4 square writing and we are getting into the use of verbs in our grammar.
Thanks for all that you do to help out with our success this year.
