Star of the Week – Maya
Field trip – Our field trip to the Green Living Science Recycling Center is this Wednesday, 10/14/15 –
Our bus is scheduled to arrive between 9:15 and 9:30. Chaperons please check in with the office and get a visitors pass then check in with your teacher so that she knows that you have arrived. Then please wait in the cafeteria. There is a Tornado Drill scheduled for 9:15 AM. My hope is the bus will arrive early and we can leave before the drill. If not we will need to wait until it is over to leave. Remember if you do not have your ICHAT form in the office you will not be allowed to attend this trip.
- Plan for 3 hours.
- The address is 1331 Holden Street, Detroit 48202.
- Dress for the weather! The majority of the field trip is outside so wear appropriate shoes and clothing.
- Rain Policy: We will hold field trips during slight rains but will adapt field trips if storming or heavy rain. If extreme weather conditions we will cancel the field trip for the safety of the children.
- Bring a sack lunch!
- Wear your Howe School tshirt or another red shirt.
- Porta potty restrooms are available for use while visiting our facility. (So you might want to use the restroom before we leave the school.)
Keebler Cash -The students have been starting to track their Keebler Cash. Each week they will be paid for completing all of their work in “Keebler Cash”. They will get $25 for each week. They will loose $5 for each missing assignment. They will earn $5 for 100% on a spelling test or getting a gem for good behavior. At the end of the marking period we will have a party to celebrate all our good work. The students can all bring in old or unwanted toys from home. They can sell them to each other for their “Keebler cash they earned.
Missing assignments – all previous missing assignments are due by Friday 10/16/15. If they are not turned in by Friday they will get a 0. From now on all missing assignment from the previous week are due by the following Monday or they will get a 0. The zero assignment scores will be lowering the report card grades. Please help your child keep up with missing assignments by watching your Parent Connect.
Book Bags should start this week – Mrs. Auon will be our book bag mom. She will be coming in on Tuesdays to switch out the book bags for new books. Please use these books to help complete the reading logs. Reading logs will be due on Mondays with the book bags.
3rd Grade Math test- will be on Thursday, October 15, 2015. A study guide went home last Thursday. Below is a copy of the study guide in case your student didn’t show it to you. Completed study guides are due on Monday, 10/12/15. Unit 1 covers the following standards:
3.MD.1 Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a number line diagram.
3.MD.3 Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets.
