*** Important Updates ***
1. An letter regarding details about this Friday's field trip will be
going home today, including info about being a chaperone.
We would like to have 5 parent chaperones per class. You'll have to provide
your own transportation (carpooling is OK), and the cost of admission to
the Gem and Mineral show have been paid for! However, you'll have to pay
for the Imax movie at the Bob Bullock Museum.
If you chaperone and you would like to take your child home with you
directly after the movie, please sign and return the form to me by this
Wed. 10/21 so I can get that approved by Dr. Wilson by Friday.
2. I've added a Photos/Docs page to the website, that will contain...photos
and documents(how original!) that we've discussed in class, from all
subject areas.
Right now, there is a PowerPoint presentation covering divisibility rules
that we discussed today and have HW over tonight.
3. I've also added a Discovery Education Videos page. We occassionaly takes
notes from or discuss streamed movies from Discovery, so I've added the
ability for parent/students to view at home. This will be helpful if a
student is absent or needs to update their notes.
To access the movie simple click the appropriate link. It will take you
the Discovery Education website and fill out an access code. The only thing
that needs to be entered is the student's name, then click the "go" button.
On the next screen, just click the link with the name of the movie and it
will open a new window with the movie, and then press the play button. You
can pause, stop, rewind, etc. as needed.
4. Just a reminder:
I tell my students several times at day that any homework that is listed
on the student planner, finished or not, needs to go into the Homework
section of their accordian file. I have students do this so
parents/guardians can check for completion and/or quality, see what we're
up to, etc.
Also, periodically check the Home Access Center to stay up-to-date on
your child's progress. It will show what's been graded and turned in so
far, including missing/late work.
If you have any problems loggin in, or have questions about it, contact
Barabara Ewing, the school registrar.
