Week Beginning May 18th, 2009

Our Shakespeare performance is finally here!

The kids have put in many hours to put on a great production and I think they're excited to share it with you. The times are as follows:

Mon May 18, 1:30

Tue May 19, 9:30

Wed May 20, 9:30

Thu May 21, 1:30 

There are still some kids that don't have costumes and I would hate for them to not have one for the performance. If there is anyone that needs help tracking something down please let me know by Monday.

The kids will have 2 spelling assignments due again this coming week. They will also have a vocabulary assignment that will be due. Most everyone has their rough draft and an illustration for their 15 paragraph short story. We will work on adding descriptions and making revisions. Their final draft will be due on Friday May 22nd. It needs to be typed and illustrated. We will continue to do some math skills review from previous concepts this year. They also have their science packets due this Friday May 22nd. These packets include everything they will be tested on for their science tests and reviewing concepts would help a bunch.

Our Criterion Referenced Tests will begin May 26th. That's the day after memorial day.

Hope everyone has a good weekend. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Week Beginning May 11th, 2009

Parents, Many of the kids have slacked on assignments lately and it's showing up on their missing work report. Please sign these and return them so I know you are seeing them. It should be in their binder, as they had them hand delivered on Friday.

This coming week we will begin our dress rehearsals for Macbeth. The kids are excited to perform the play and these dress rehearsals will be a great time to polish up our play. The kids are responsible for a costume on Monday, May 11th. I hope this doesn't become too big a burden. Old clothes, big sleeved shirts, tights, exercise wear, baggy pants, chain necklaces, etc. would all be great. Please let me know if there is a problem or you would like help in tracking down a costume. Times for plays are as follows:

Mon May 18, 1:30

Tue May 19, 9:30

Wed May 20, 9:30

Thu May 21, 1:30

The kids will be responsible for two spelling assignments (Word Search/Crossword) and their Vocabulary worksheet. They also have an Essay due on Wednesday about their goals and how the NOVA principles will help them achieve these goals.  In addition, next week Friday, May 22nd they have a typed,  illustrated, and at least 15 paragraph short story due. This is worth 3 writing assignments so it will be an important part of their grade. If you have any questions about these assignment please feel free to.
