Dear Parents and Caregivers,
The trimester officially ends this Thursday. Report cards
and assessment scores will be sent home next week. There will be a final test
in science on Thursday that will count for this trimester. The test is on
molecules, compounds, and mixtures. All material on the test has been discussed
and students have notes to study with. Please consider studying with them by
asking questions off the notes and/or asking students to explain the concepts.
This week, students are presenting their final iMovie
presentations on a character from Black Ships Before Troy. Feel free to
check in before or after class someday to let your student show off his or her
presentation - it's pretty neat!
The mechanical babies go home today. Students have been
trained to respond to crying both at home and in class. When the babies are
returned, there will be a computer print out of the care provided. Our family
life unit has gone well overall and I hope that this final project can widen
the conversation.
This Thursday, students will also celebrate with a Dojo
party they earned through good choices and smart questions and answers. Feel
free to send along snacks and PG movies.
Don't forget, we leave next week on the 5th for the REACH
conference in Chico! Please make sure you have bedding/sleeping bag to send
with your student next week. Last week, I requested a $25 donation to help
cover the $150 fee per student and adult we pay to go to REACH for the three days. Please send the money in this week, if possible.
Thank you!
Maggie Orion
