Greetings One and All,

First of all hang in there another day on the official chaperone for camp list. I have a ton of names and only a few can be "official", so I'll announce ASAP, but there are a couple variables, I appreciate your patience.

Next, on Friday's note home I said I'd send the Math tests home today, but the kids fixed them up for partial credit and I need to score them again tonight, so they will be home on Tuesday, not today.

Here is the homework:

Math: page 33 (due Tuesday)

Reading: Ultimate School stuff due on Friday, Oct. 9
*maybe a group finishing their literature circle reading.

That's all, thanks everyone.

Mr. K

The Math tests will not be graded until tomorrow and the students will not get them back until Monday. You will see those tests Monday night and I am asking you to initial those tests and return them on Tuesday next week. Just giving you a heads up.

Homework:

1. Ultimate School (due Oct. 9)

2. Literature Circle Reading (some groups assigned reading for tonight, check with your sons/daughters as to what book they are reading and what their current reading assignment is. They have a blue sheet that lists the breakdown of their reading over the 3 1/2 weeks and also the final project that they will work on as a group.

3. Fundraiser sheets can also be turned in tomorrow as well.

Take care everyone,

Mr. K
