Tuesday – No school – Voting Day for BRICS bond. Please get out and vote.
Field Trip to the Dearborn Smoke House tomorrow. Please wear your school t-shirt or red on all field trips. I tried to send a message early last week saying to contact me on Class Dojo if you were interested in chaperoning. I have been wondering why no one replied. I went back and checked and realize because of the internet issues I was having with my phone it was never sent. So, if you would like to chaperone please send a message on Class Dojo. The bus will be picking us up around 9:00 or before. Please sign in at the office and wait on the couches outside the office. I would like a parent to wait at each of the doors (lower-el and upper-ed dismissal doors) to watch for the bus and please come to let us know when it has arrived. This is a very small locations and there are only room for a few chaperones. If there is not enough space inside you will need to wait outside under the awning. The goal of this field trip is to teach children what to do if they were in a fire. This is a safety issue and very important for students to learn.
New Student – We have a new student starting tomorrow. His name is Hussein. He is joining us from River Oaks. His mother will be joining us on the field trip. Please introduce yourself and your child to them and make them both feel welcome at our school.
Math Homework – You may have noticed that you have not been seeing much math homework for a week or so. We are in the process of moving more toward the Montessori math. This means students will be working at their own pace. The Eureka math homework will now be optional. Students will still be doing Eureka math through the Zearn computer program. This program follows each lesson in Eureka exactly. Students will be working with the Montessori materials that follow the Common Core State Standards. They will work on both Zearn and Montessori math during the day. If you would like them to have math homework they may do their Zearn at home or they may continue to do their math homework in their book but they do not need to return the pages. I can post the answers if you want to check if they are doing it correctly.
Star of the Week – this week will will not have a Star of the Week since we only have 4 days of school. Next week’s Star of the Week is Batoul C. Each star of the week will do the following things: Monday make a poster board all about their life (NOT foam board). Tuesday bring their favorite book to share with the class. Wednesday bring show and tell. Thursday invite a guest to lunch. Friday her parents should write a letter about what make them so wonderful. The days maybe switched around except the poster board. Only one thing per day.
Parent -Teacher Conferences are November 7th, 12th and 14th. You should have gotten a 1/2 sheet of paper with your time of Friday if you can make your time please let me know as soon as possible so we can arrange another time that works for you.
