Important
Your continued checks and
signatures on the Student Planners are really helping keep our class on track
with homework – thank you!
Our Run-Walk-athon sponsor
sheet was sent home last Friday. Please know that we can only go on field trips
and schedule enriching projects with fundraising support.
A few families have reached
out asking for resources to support their students in the new Common Core math.
I’ve posted a list of tips and resources on the website. Feel free to check in
with me if you still have questions.
Our field trip is one month
away! October 7th-9th. We will be returning the evening of the 9th
which is before Fall Break. Contact me soon if you have concerns about your
student attending.

New
We will be learning abou
the Byzantine Empire and the lasting impacts of Ancient Rome this week.
Our rock detective work
will officially start in science!
We will read, listen and
watch Steve Jobs’ Harvard commencement speech and relate his message to Bud’s
life in our reading and language arts class.
Updates and Info
Our class toured landforms
across the country on Google Earth in science. We learned the various reasons
ancient Rome rose and fell in history. We are getting to know Bud in Bud,
Not Buddy better and are learning how figurative language and word choice
creates tone in a text. Our first week of spelling went well! Elective classes
started last Thursday and reports were positive all around.
Our
class needs a male chaperone for the October 7-9 field trip to Marin Headlands.
The chaperone would need to be able to drive their own vehicle and enforce
rules and expectations in the boys’ dorm. There will also be fun hiking trips
and ocean time! Please let me know as soon as possible if you are willing and
interested. If multiple menfolk apply, I’ll do a drawing.
