Veteran's Day


I need to know whose parent is either a Veteran or is currently serving in the Military and in which branch. Please e-me this information by Tuesday. On Friday, we will be having a special Veteran's Day "whole-school" chapel in the Worship Center from 10:45-11:45. I invite any Veterans and active military parents or grandparents to attend. I would love for any parents or guests attending from our class to join us for lunch afterwards. You may pack a sack lunch, like the kids, or bring your favorite take-out. If weather permits, we will eat outside. If it is too cold, we will picnic in the classroom. Students are asked to wear jeans with their Boosterthon t-shirt for this event.


Homework:
Spelling- List 11 abc order
Science- study CCs, test next week; toilet paper roll
Reading- study voc.

Our class is doing a writing project in conjunction with our current novel. We are reading Roald Dahl's autobiography, and it is titled Boy. The children are writing their "Lower School Memoirs." Student Treasures is willing to publish one hard-cover copy free of charge for each child. This is a fantastic opportunity! The only stipulation is that each parent be given the opportunity to order extra copies. The order forms for these will go home tomorrow. I need for you to sign and return them with your child, even if you do not wish to purchase any additional copies. If I don't receive your signed form, I will not be permitted to submit your child's work. Thank you in advance for your cooperation on this endeavor. I wish they had offered this when my daughter was in my 5th grade class. I would have loved to have had her memoirs and would have loved even more to have purchased a copy for each of the grandparents for a priceless Christmas gift!

Homework:
Spelling- study
Reading- study voc., bring markers
Science- study CCs, quiz tomorrow
Math- CW 91-92

Thank You:
to Katie, Haley, and Miss Beth for working at our booth for Hallapalooza. They each earned 3000 Scoreboard Points, as well as fun photo opportunities with the grooviest hippie teacher!

to Miss Joy, our wonderful Filing Fairy!

Announcements:
I will be choosing the 2012 5th grade Spelling Bee Nominees this week. If you do not want your child to be considered, please let me know. I know several students have other commitments with sports and activities and don't have the time to put in for practice. It helps with the selection process if I know this ahead of time! I also have need of a Spelling Bee secretary. This "helper" position is for a student that may not be the best speller, but would like to attend each practice to help with keeping points tallied.

No tutoring this week. I have too many irons in the fire!

Homework:
Math- CW 89-90/ HW 46
Spelling- CE 10 5x
Bible- study new MV ( Numbers 14:18)
Reading- I Spy due tomorrow, study Boy voc., Crayola markers
Science- study CCs, quiz Thursday
