The Pickett Fence 10/17/2016

Students are excited to dive into their race car tracks this week putting their knowledge of adding and subtracting decimals to use.  On Friday, students figured out supplies and purchased materials to create their tracks, and today they will be building!  Students will have to use their Maker skills, as well as, problem solve through their tracks in order to achieve the greatest point value’s possible!  We are excited for the fun that is in store today and hope to share our learning with you soon!  Stay tuned for some fun! 

We are also continuing our work with matter and will explore some mystery substances and their properties of matter. Students will also continue working on their explorer’s unit where they have become part of a famous explorers crew and finally, we will finish up our work with Sacraments, as we share our knowledge with RCIA agents!  Whew! What a week ahead for us!!

Raz-Kids 

Don’t forget! One  Raz Kids story need to be read each week!

Beginning this week, on Thursdays students will be required to complete one reading story in RAZ Kids as a homework assignment.  Students will be asked to have the assignment completed by each Friday, however they are welcome to do this any day of the week.  Coming home this week, in your child's STAR book will be their log in information, which I hope to also email out to you in the upcoming days. 

To Log in at home: Click the following link and my teacher username is jpickett6

You will then follow accordingly for your child's log in. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Grades

It’s hard to believe the end of first quarter is already here! I am working on getting grades updated into the grade book, however you may check in to ensure your child has turned in all missing assignments!  For some reason we still have a few holes.  I hope to have everything up to date and completed by Wednesday.  Please contact me if you have any questions. 


Flipped Videos
Your child will receive one flipped video in math this week!  We are also going to be starting flipped videos in language.  Students will be asked to watch one or two videos a week in language as well as math.  As always, students will be given two days to complete their video assignments.  Please contact me with questions!
Ernie Miller Field Trip
Thank you to those of you who set in your permission trip forms and money!  If you haven’t done so yet, please send those to school ASAP!  We will be leaving for our field trip on Thursday morning at 8:15.  Students can dress out of uniform! They will need to be in tennis shoes and long pants.  We will be walking through trails and outside all of the day.  Students will want to be sure to wear tennis shoes for walking and long pants to prevent tics!  Sack lunches are also needed.  If you could please send it in a disposable bag with your child’s name written on it.  Lunch boxes are fine, but disposables are preferred.  The weather forecast is 50-60 degrees.  If your child would like to bring a sweatshirt or jacket, that may be helpful too!  We will return back to school around 2:00.
