Homework and More--February 21, 2012
Homework:
Coti Math: Pages 238 and 239 in CMJ 2
Houston Math: Two handouts
Adem Reading: Poetry projects due Thursday
Black History Month Activity: Finish drawings and either include words on your
drawing or write a separate statement. If you didn't [participate in the activity,
complete reading handout.
Vocabulary: Pages 80, 81, 83. No one scored below an 83% on last Friday's quiz. Way to go!
Parents,
A few of our students have lost their vocabulary workbooks. Please ask your child if he/she is one of
those students. The workbooks cost $7.50. We're getting weary copying pages for those whose
books are missing and would appreciate their having a replacement. Thanks!
We have a field trip scheduled on March 6 to Beauvoir to plant some vegetables. We'll celebrate with a gigantic salad in May after harvesting. Since Beauvoir is in walking distance from the school, a field trip
form won't be sent home. Anyone who would like to accompany us is welcome! We'll leave Eaton at 10 am and return around noon.
We're also gearing up to set some seedlings in the classroom for a transplant to our own garden next month. Our $1,000.00 grant was approved, and we'll buy a couple of rain barrels to water it and lots of compost to create ideal soil conditions. Can't wait to get the Eaton garden going!
Please mark your calendars for Family Math Night on March 15. We hope to see you and your children there!
Have a good night.
Susan
