Spelling Test & Camp Information
With field day this afternoon, we had to consolidate our morning. We did not get to our spelling test. Click on the link for the hot and content words:
Weather Conditions: This afternoon for field day, many of the students were complaining about the chilly temperatures. I reminded the students they need to listen to the weather reports each morning. This is especially true for those students participating in camp. The temperatures a bit north and out in the country will be cooler. Please make sure the students have enough layers to keep them warm.
Medicine for Camp: If you are sending medicine to camp, either prescription or over the counter, it has to be in the original packaging. If you tossed the box or container out, please call your doctor or pharmacist to get it refilled or get the packaging again. We have to follow the guidelines.
Packing List: The suggested packing list was blogged 2-3 weeks ago. Scroll back through my blog to find it.
Summer Learning
A couple of Dearborn’s teacher leaders for Math and Language Arts visited our classroom on Monday to discuss summer learning expectations. Students set up accounts with Khan Academy and information was given regarding mandatory summer work for the students.
