Monday, May 25

1.  Pizza Day orders for this Friday are due Tuesday, tomorrow.
2.  Thx so much for informing me of what you can send for French Food Day...a few kids still need to let me know, or you can send $6.00.  Still need roast beef and cold already cooked fries. 
3.  We are reading our stories that we have written and are illustrating right now; we will be reading to Mrs. McCarthy's class Friday.  If you are able to send in any cookies this week, we will give our little buddies one or 2 while they listen to us read. Again, thanks for your support.
4.  Science test- Simple Machines- Students did fairly well on this test.  I helped them study a little more today.  Their marks are in their agenda.  Test was out of 35, but grade 4 students get an extra 5 points, since they had to study and do the same unit as the grade 5 students this time.  Most students scored between 26 and 35 as a raw score.  I still need to check the tests over so they will not come home yet.
5.  2 AM Reading/Writing worksheets as well as 2 Handwriting worksheets- due Tuesday.
6.  District Track Meet competitors- Congrats!  Meet at 8 AM tomorrow in the Gym.

Please note:  I remind the students daily that they don't normally have much homework (except reading a book and studying for a test).  However, right now, most of them should be doing 15 to 30 minutes per night working on their:  French Menu, Behaviour Children's Story and SS Country of Choice Project...these have been our long term projects this term.  It is quite possible that they can still achieve an "A" on these projects without much homework, but an "A" is going "Above and Beyond" so homework may help some students achieve a better mark.  Also, students are given criteria sheets for everything, so they should be able to show you in their duotangs.  There should not be any guessing as to what is expected.  Thanks.
