Dear Parents and Caregivers,
The Run-Walk-A-Thon went
great with a total of 38 miles ran for our class alone. Now it’s
money-collecting time! Students are asked to gather the funds they raised and
return them by next Monday at the latest. Thanks for all your support! I'm
already hatching ideas for fun field trips and activities for this group!
Students completed their first formal spelling and history
exams this week. Independent and
family-supported study time at home will be important to doing well on
exams in my class. Though I do review sessions in class, students are also
expected to study at home. Please help support your student by looking at their
study materials with them and giving them practice verbal and/or written
quizzes at home. I also highly encourage peer-to-peer study on the telephone. If
you need any support on studying at home, let me know.
Students completed an interesting artistic assignment on their
favorite novel incorporating optical
illusion and our study of literary analysis. These will be displayed in the
hall within the next month, and a few examples will be posted to the class
blog.
In science, we are
heading into an exploration of the scientific method, particularly the
exploration of independent and dependent variables and our next block of social studies deals with early
agriculture and human settlement.
Additionally, next Friday the 26th, our PE will be rescheduled for a
martial arts introductory class led by
Tony Reyna who runs Gold Country Kuk Sool Won in Nevada City.
If your child is interested in learning more about Kuk Sool Won,
Tony is offering a free six-week class
on Mondays at the Parents Resource Center in North San Juan. This will start
October 20th with a class for 2-5 year olds at 3:15-3:45 and a class for
children 6-13 from 4:00-5:00. Call 292-3174 with questions or to secure a spot
(no drop-ins will be allowed).
Thank you,
Maggie Orion
