Mrs. Vrsek's Room

Tomorrow 11/5 is Election Day. Enjoy a day to sleep in and study for your math test.

Math test is on Wednesday.

It’s come so quickly, but it’s actually here. Friday is the last day of the marking period. Report cards and progress reports will be handed out at conferences on November 11th and 13th.

With the last week of the marking period here, all missing work is due by Wednesday. Students will have a social studies quiz tomorrow and a science test on Wednesday. They have been and will continue to prepare for these.

Wednesday is also our October PBIS Movie reward. We will be watching Hocus Pocus or Corpse Bride. The students will pick. Only students with 1 full pride card turned in by today (10/28) and a signed movie permission slip will be able to participate.

Friday is supposed to be our walking field trip to McDonalds. The weather forecast isn’t looking promising. We will make a decision closer to it. We will either do an alternate lunch, save for another day, or return money with a note to the students to bring home.

We are already a couple of weeks into October. As the end of the month comes near we have a few great rewards ahead. On Wednesday, October 30th we will have our October PBIS reward. Students will earn a movie afternoon. On Friday, November 1st we will be walking to Mc Donalds for a lunch reward as well.

Please look for two separate permission slips to come home in the next week.

We have an exciting fundraiser on Thursday during the school day. During social studies, we will be able to go outside and purchase snow cones. A small snow cone is $2 and a large is $5. The PTA is sponsoring the event. Money from the proceeds will go back to help the school with events for all the students.

Hope to see everyone getting a snow cone!!

I can’t believe that tomorrow (Tuesday) is the first day of October. September has flown by. Students tested last week in science on Herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. They should be bringing home their tests early this week. They will test later this week on fractions in math. Next week we will begin our new unit on multiplication and division. As students begin to learn the basic skills for multiplication and division, they will also begin to apply these skills into story problems and real world examples. We are beginning to talk about inferences in language arts which is a newer topic and sometimes difficult topic.

Planners have arrived so students should be bringing them to and from school daily. We worked last week on their My Learning Plan and discussed goals for their language arts and math areas based on their NWEA scores. Take a moment at home this week to ask them what their goals are. We will review these goals and help them work towards them for their winter NWEA testing.

It’s hard to believe that today is the first day of fall. We have been in school for a month! Everyone has been working very hard in all of their subjects and on their NWEA tests.

This week we will have a test in Science on our first part of Ecosystems. We will test on herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores.

Our September PBIS reward will be on Thursday Sept. 26th for 7th grade or Friday Sept. 27th for 8th grade. Students will have outdoor recess on the football field those days.

Upcoming Events:

Wednesday, Sept. 25th: Late Start
