Landform Project

I'm a bit late with updating my blog this week. Sorry about that. I hope that students are excited and have started their landform project. I sent home a letter last Monday explaining what to do. This project is done at home and will be due Tuesday, October 7th. Make sure this is turned in on time. Grading will be based on a 4 point scale. 1 point for each of the following: project includes at least 2 landforms, each landform is labeled, project is turned in on time, and no more than 12x18 inches in size. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

Lit Circles went well last Thursday. We had parent volunteers helping with each group and most students did well on their assignment. In the beginning, you will need to help your child. Be sure to read with them and proof read their work. Points are taken off for spelling and punctuation errors. In addition to Lit. Circles, some students are turning in their spelling packet incomplete. It's important to check each page to be sure that the work is done. If you could initial each page for me, that would be helpful.

Book orders were sent home today and will be due no later than Friday, October 10. If anyone is interested in getting book sets for the class, let me know so I can give you the name of the titles.

Wish List:
1) Handi-wipes (we're almost out)
2) file folder labels
3) paper or plastic cups for water

Thank you Min for the tissues. They should last us a while!

Looking forward to meeting with all of you during conference week. If you haven't sent in the blue form, turn it in ASAP so I can schedule you in.
