September 3rd

I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! This week will be a busy week! Just a few things I want to let you know. Our first field trip to the Huntsville Space and Rocket Center is coming up quickly! Forms and information are going home today. The due date is not until early next week, but please go ahead and send everything back in as soon as possible!

I am also sending home a math resource book for parents. It will have your child's number on it and is due back at the end of the school year. If you will notice on page 14 of this week's homework, there is a resource page number at the top right of the page. That page number is a resource page for you in the book I am sending home tonight. Each week the kids will have similar homework pages that will have resource pages for you in the Student Math Handbook.

This is our first week of spelling. We will all have the same list this week as we get used to the format. The next time that we have spelling, the lists will be different according to how your child does on the pre-test. More information about this is in the Parent Night notes on our web site.

Also, the kids have an Edmodo Scavenger Hunt that is due Friday. You can access the scavenger hunt from our homework blog post from today. It is very important that they know how to use Edmodo correctly as they will be using this program through high school in Hoover. Please help them especially with step 6 so they will know how you want them to download items at home. Our scavenger hunt is due Friday.

We are researching the planets in class this week and we will make and share a project (in class) about our planet!  :)

Have a great, short week!
