We have sent home a pink letter in Friday Folders about upcoming field trips. Please make sure you read over that letter -- this letter is a request for the funds for three our remaining field trips: WILLIAMSBURG (which is a 12-hour long field trip where students ride commercial buses down to the historic city, enjoy guided tours, and have lunch at a tavern), Brass Rubbings (an in-house workshop where students explore historical figures who helped in the exploration and discovery of America), and a Jamestown Outreach. The total cost of these three experiences is $72.00. We are asking for the money by Wednesday, Oct. 22.
Wednesday, Oct. 8 is an early release day.
Congrats to Mrs. Brizendine who is getting married this weekend!
This week in Science...
Students should be bringing home a grading scale and some instructions for a mostly in-class research project on an element. Parents, please sign this sheet acknowledging your awareness that your child has this assignment. While it will mostly be done in school, what does not get finished in school will need to be finished at home. We will spend time this week in the library and the computer lab working on this project.
This week in Social Studies...
we are staring a new unit! Students will begin to explore patterns of migration and how early Americans settled in North America. We will explore how geographical features and climates influenced the culture of early Americans in different regions. The Geography Test will come home this week. Parents, please sign it and return it back to school with your student.
Thursday Night - Students should complete the "History Alive" online tutorial. It can be accessed through the "Atlantic Social Studies" class in Angel or by google-ing "History Alive" and clicking on the first link that appears or right here.
This week in Math...
we are continuing to explore graphs! We are working on creating double bar graphs both by hand on graph paper and on the computer with Excel. We will also start looking at stem and leaf plots and line plots and what kind of data can be displayed in those diagrams.
Assignments:
Monday - Finish Side Two of "The Cookie Sheet"
Tuesday - WKS: Stem and Leaf Plots
Wednesday - WKS: Sweet Sales
Thursday -
Friday -No Homework
