Week of October 25-29, 2010

Tuesday HW
We have limited HW tonight and tomorrow due to Stratford and the impending Science Project due date.  We did spend time editing our stories in class in advance of the project due date.  Any student should be prepared to present their project orally next Monday in class. 

With regard to tomorrow's Stratford trip, students should remember to arrive in class at 8:30 AM, and have appropriate clothing for the weather, a snack for the morning and a lunch and possibly a snack for the ride home.  We return at 7 PM, in darkness, so students should be picked up by a responsible adult or care giver.  No game systems for the bus ride, only books and music playing devices.  Bring these at your own risk.

On Friday we will show a film for a Halloween treat.  I don't expect that parents want their children gobbling junk food at 9AM so we will hold off on snacking until after recess.  Bring what you can with the expectation of sharing please.  We have a mild  peanut allergy (no epi-pen) in the room, so caution in that regard is appreciated.  The costume parade walk starts at 1 PM

Monday HW
Science Project due on Thursday October 28.  I will return from baseball playoffs to review them.  Presentations start next week.  News Journal Summary and Reflection -- we spent 20 minutes on it in class today after the presentations and discussion were done.  Math HW book pages 22-23.  Math Quiz on Unit 2 Lessons 1 to 4 next Tuesday November 2.  (Sorry for the late post of the HW blog.)
