Our first field trip has been scheduled for October 30th to Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge – Blue Heron Trails Site. There the students will be analyzing soil and water samples and scouting for wildlife. Permission slips will be sent home on October 10th, when we track back on.
The APEX Kick-off rally was this morning and your children were sent home with their pledge envelopes and asked to register their t-shirt sizes tonight.
An updated copy of the 5th Grade Score Weights has been completed. I will e-mail it for those interested parties.
School pictures went home last Friday, August 17th, everyone looked adorable.
Progress reports go home on Friday. Please note that the first trimester Progress Report is always a difficult one for teachers. We have only been in school for five weeks and two of those weeks were filled with teaching the class procedures, getting to know each other, and assessing students. Giving you a real idea of where your student is at this point is a challenge. I will be sending out another Progress Report before we track off that will be a little closer to reality considering the class will have had more opportunities to show me what they can do.
