Field trip permission forms came home today. This field trip is a walking field trip with the Valentine History Museum on Thursday, Oct. 24. This supports our study of Henrico History. Please return these along with $6.00 for your student as soon as possible. If you are interested in serving as a chaperone, please be sure that you have already completed and submitted a Volunteer Form to the office.
Also coming home today are student picture order forms. Picture Day is on Tuesday, October 22. Orders must be paid in advance either online or by sending in a check in the envelope provided. Please note that all students will have their picture taken on Picture Day regardless of whether pictures are being purchased.
Thank you for sending the interims back so promptly. If you still have your child's out, please sign it and return it as soon as you can.
We have finished up Order of Operations in math. I am pleased with the progress, but we will return to the topic later in the year as I want to make sure that the students show mastery even after leaving the topic for a while. This week we are getting ready to work on computation. I have given a pretest and your child will be working in groups based on the data that I have for them. Also, please make sure that you are reviewing multiplication and division flashcards a few times a week to keep the easy recall of math facts. This helps when they are to apply their knowledge in math class.
Thank you so much for all of the donations for science class! We are putting them to good use. Looking ahead, we will probably wrap up our Geology unit with a test the last week of October. As it gets closer, I will put up an exact date. Right now we are finishing up with the earth's layers and plates and will focus on the rock cycle and fossils in the weeks to come.
