My school email is on the blink this weekend, so if you've emailed me I'm not trying to avoid you :). I hope to get it fixed tomorrow.
Mrs. Ryan and I will be staying after school tomorrow to help with research papers. Please let me know if your child would like to stay until 4:15. (Hopefully, my email will be up but if it isn't you can either email Mrs. Ryan or call the school.) We can only help about 6, so it's first come, first served. I will also help during recess and lunch.
Important dates:
- All school library books are due tomorrow, May 15th.
- May 24th-26th are early release days. The students are finished and to be picked up at 12:30.
- Continental Breakfast May 24th, Presentations are 24th and 25th.
Academics:
We will be working on the research paper during class and what is not finished then will be for homework. The final typewritten paper is due on Friday the 19th. The souvenir is due on the day of the presentation. This is to be a homemade, inexpensive reminder of the person your child is representing. The presentation can be a tri-fold, PowerPoint, poster or something similar. Your child has the guidelines and other reference material for these and also for the research paper.
History test on the American Revolution - Wednesday.
Math test on volume - Wednesday.
Literature final for Carry On, Mr. Bowditch - essay on Friday. The students will receive the prompt for the essay on Thursday and will be working on writing a rough draft on Thursday to be prepared for the final paper on Friday.
The science test on Respiration will be Monday, May 22nd.
The grades for many this quarter are not looking as good as they were last quarter. This is due to incomplete and missing work. Please check the emails from Jupiter each Friday which you will receive if your child has missing work. Please have your child make up the missing assignments and/or any assignments they did not do well on. Thank you.
Thank you, as always, for allowing me to be a part of your child's life,
Mrs. Gore
