New Way to Enter School

Starting Tuesday, Sept. 6 all exterior doors to the school will remain locked. In order to get in a visitor must "ring the doorbell" at the front doors and wait for entry clearance. Like in the past, visitors must report to the front office to receive a visitor's pass.

This is to make sure that our students are as safe and secure as possible while they are with us during the day.

Recess

When the temperature is below 100 degrees we will be having recess outside. Students make bring a water bottle to school to stay hydrated during the day. Please talk with your child about taking breaks in the shade when needed, so we don't have our very active kids at recess overheating.

Metric Test 1 (#2)

Wednesday
Metric Test 1 (#4)

Thursday
Metric Test 1 (#6)

*They may use their Study Guides to help them answer the questions, but they should try to use the hints less and less each night.

Tic Tac Toe

Each 9 weeks, the students will choose one assignment from our Tic Tac Toe board they will be responsible for completing. The students may work on their project during their free time in class or may work on it at home if they want. I will be looking for accurate information, following directions, creativity and neatness.

"More" and "Most" Thinking Questions

For the students' independent research projects, they will be creating a "more" or "most" thinking question to research. Here are a few examples of each for guidance.

"More" Thinking Question
Questions that can be answered when you use information you already know in new situations. These types of questions may be answered after you already know something about your topic.

Examples:
- How do you classify birds?
- How do gerbils learn?
- How do students feel about different subjects in school?

"Most" Thinking Question
Questions that can be answered with you create and/or evaluate new information. These types of questions are answered by new inventions, creations, or discoveries that require a lot of knowledge about your topic.

Examples:
- How might I develop a way to protect animals in urban areas?
- How do we decide who should be the president of the school's student council?
- How might I teach other students about computers?
