8/30 School Starts Tuesday!/ Summer Math Packets

Amy — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 23:58:18 +0000

I hope that everyone has had a nice summer! School starts up again on Tuesday September 6th, the day after Labor Day. Don’t forget to complete your summer math packet, have a parent check it over with the answer key and initial the front page, and turn it in to me on the first day of school. The math packet is a great way to review concepts from the previous year and get yourself ready for this year’s math topics.

I look forward to seeing everyone next Tuesday September 6th!

7/19 5th Grade Parties Tomorrow and Thursday!

Amy — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 18:23:50 +0000

Tomorrow we will have a 5th grade “graduation” party. If they want, parents may send students with snacks and beverages to share as well as paper cups.

Thursday morning we will take a quick trip to my place. All permission slips need to be turned in tomorrow! Students may bring snacks or drinks that are on the healthier side to the gathering at my house if they wish. Thanks again to parents who volunteered to drive!

Reminder: Please send your child to school tomorrow with a bag to bring home all remaining belongings and anything “purchased” at our end-of-the-year checkbook auction! (Parents may send in donated items for the auction such as books, games, art supplies, etc.)

7/18 Summer Math Packets in Boxes

Amy — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 01:14:39 +0000

Summer math packets along with answer sheets are now in student boxes. Be looking for an end-of-the-year test (Unit 12) that should be treated not as a test but as homework. (Students may get help with the work.) Math packets can be handed in to Amy at the beginning of next school year. Students not returning to the Museum School can also benefit from doing the packet as it’s a great review! Thanks for your help at home!

Amy — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 04:24:02 +0000

This week’s homework is to work on the PLP. If students have not yet done so, they should finish making notecards for the speech and practice giving the speech at home. Students also need to work on the PLP creative project, which is due this Wednesday July 13th. Students will be given time at school to work on the PLP and should bring materials to school to take advantage of this time.

Next week students will be finishing the final draft of the PLP paper, preparing notecards for the PLP speech, and working on the creative project at school and at home. Students should bring a printed copy of the PLP paper and materials for the creative project each day next week! This will allow students to take advantage of time given to them to work on the PLP in school. Thanks for your help at home!
