It's Friday!

Happy Friday! Yet another week has come and gone. I took some pictures of the kids during music today. The kids were learning the hand signals for each musical note. In the conservatory, Mrs. H. made a large musical staff on the floor. Students stood on the staff spelling out words using musical notes. Very cool! Look for them to be posted to the album by tomorrow morning. We had fun with our cooking project. Many students wanted to "save" their concoctions to bring them home and show you. So far, this project has been the students' favorite. Ask them what we made!

Please remember to bring in the Mix It Up class forms by Monday. Otherwise, you will just be placed in a class instead of it being one that you really wanted. Our first Mix It Up session is Friday, October 24th. We will have one Mix It Up class each month. You will be in your class for 3 times before choosing another class. What an exciting way to get to know other students in the school, and spend time learning about a subject that you have an interest in.

The big due date for pop up books is Monday. They must be finished and in students' hands on Monday morning. I can't wait to see the finished products. I am so proud of all the hard work that went into making these books.

We worked more on our persuasive business letters--we are working hard on getting the format exactly right, and giving supporting evidence and facts. We will also be working on addressing envelopes for business letters.

Have a wonderful weekend. Your homework is to finish your pop up book, and keep up with your book club contract and comprehension packet. Remember to turn in your recorder form for music by Wednesday. See you Monday. Remember--no school on Thursday and Friday (Trailblazers are open both days).
