1st Blog Post of 2016-2017!!!

Happy Tuesday Families!!!

If you are receiving this message, congratulations! You have officially signed up for my blog! (If you are one of my families from last year, feel free to unsubscribe by clicking on the word unsubscribe at the bottom of this email message).  I had some problems with the software last year while trying this, but I have resolved all of them and it's ready to go!  Updates:

1.  PARTY!!!  We earned our 1st class party that we will celebrate THIS THURSDAY!  Please check the home folder tonight for a form to sign as part of our party!

2.  Field Trip - A note went home yesterday concerning the field trip.  Please fill this form out and return ASAP.  If you are interested in volunteering, please check that box and make sure you have been fingerprinted by the district in past years.

3.  Writing Paper - We have started research on a famous scientist/person who made historical contributions to our society!  This process is ongoing and will be formalized into a paper within the next few weeks.  Please continue to check in with the students about their research/papers to see if they need any guidance.

4.  Antidisestablishmentarianism.  Yes...that's correct.  This Thursday, every student will be able to spell that word!  While I understand the insignificance of just memorizing letters, I want the students to be able to understand that if they work hard in life, anything is achievable. What better way to prove that than giving them the longest word in the English language!  Below there's a funny video that can help them practice and study.



Sorry so long...have a great week!
