Week of November 3
posted by lschmuker | November 02, 2008 21:17
Election week is here! Students and adults alike are very excited and eager to learn who our next president will be. On Monday, Springview students will participate in a school-wide convention. Several fourth graders will read where candidates stand on issues such as education, health care, Iraq, and the environment. Our class also put together a slideshow to lyrics of, "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood. On Tuesday, there will be a school-wide election where students will get to vote for their candidate! We'll see how the result compares to the actual country-wide result.
The first round of conferences are this Thursday evening from 5:30-8:00. There is NO SCHOOL on Friday. The next round of conferences are the following Monday, November 10, on which there is a half day.
This week's planner and spelling lists have been updated. The newsletter should be available by the end of the school day on Monday.
For our monthly genre reading projects, the months of November and December have been combined for historical fiction. The project is to write a reading letter, just like students do for their independent reading at school. All needed forms have been uploaded to the Monthly Reading Projects category of the blog! This information will be sent home Monday. Students already picked out their books Friday.
New to the blog is the Brain Buster category. Every week, students will have the OPTION to take home a challenging math problem, the Brain Buster, in order to earn more Schmuker Bucks. Please note that this is only optional! You'll find this week's in the Brain Buster category.
