October 4th thru October 7th

My students have really been working hard and have impressed me very much!  Keep it up guys!  Please review the rubric for conduct and go over it with your child.  Many students are talking which really increases the load of work that goes home at night.  However, many are very quiet, but that won't ensure an "A" in conduct.  Students need to be looking for ways to help around the classroom and with other students.  They need to remember to do this along with participation while not being disruptive at the same time.  Students must be done with their work before they help around the classroom.  Please discuss this with your child, thanks for your support!

Whenever there is a writing assignment, I ask that you help them with proofreading.  This will reinforce what I am doing in the classroom.  Also when you have them correct errors right away, it will reinforce the correct way things should be. 

upcoming dates this week:

1. Science test on chapter A/2 - Tuesday 10-5-10
2. Nonfiction book project- due Thursday 10-7-10.  Please check over their work for spelling and complete sentences.  Also check for neatness.  This will count for a handwriting grade! 
3. NO spelling or reading tests this week!
4. Friday- no school for students! 

***** We have a communion service next Friday at Hampshire and Emeritus.  I will post the drivers who have signed up to drive next weekend.  Because I have to split my class I will need a parent willing to supervise at The Hampshire for me- any volunteers?  Please let me know ASAP
