What a whirl wind of a week! We were busy writing letters to be in the Old 300 with Stephen F. Austin, creating poetry, measuring angles, and realized we are drinking the same water as the dinosaurs!!
Reading Response Logs:
We will not go back to the Reading Response Logs for the next few weeks. Instead, your child will receive a note taking page for their biography report on Monday. Each night they will research a certain area of their person of interest and take notes. They will have two nights to complete each section. (ie. Monday and Tuesday nights they will read and research their person of interest's Early Years - and record these notes onto the given notes page). We will record in planners the sections to be completed each night.
Parent Volunteers:
We have been asked to send out a school-wide reminder that, as stated in the district handbook, parent volunteers are not to bring along non-school age siblings. This pertains to volunteering in the classrooms (ie. parties, field trips...). Any questions regarding this policy can be directed to the office. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Coffee House Poetry:
We're changing things up this year for Coffee House Poetry! We will transform only one classroom into the "Cafe." Each class will have a certain day and time. Our class will hold Coffee House Poetry on December 5th from 9:00 - 9:45. If your child is in TAG with Mrs. Mowrey, please refer to her website for the day and time.
