I think I'm actually on time today, and here is the homework:

1. Math: only one page tonight, p. 34
*Test tomorrow. I think we're ready!!!
*Math notebooks will also be collected and scored tomorrow.

2. Ultimate School Projects due Friday, Oct. 9

3. Fundraiser (Camp Pendalouan) Parent Permission Sheet (due ASAP, hopefully tomorrow!)
*Read carefully, and email me questions if you have any. It's pretty easy!

Thanks,

Greeting everyone,

First of all, sorry...It is currently 8:51pm as I write this. I realize that is not very helpful to most of you. I only have two words as my excuse:

FREE GOLF!!!

A couple friends and I heard that Pigeon Creek was all you can play for free today so I ran out of school and squeezed 18 holes in before dark and about the 4th hole I remembered that I hadn't written this yet. OOPS!

Here's the homework for tonight:

1. Math: pages 31 and 32
*Test Thursday (study meetings at both morning recesses the next two days)

2. Ultimate School Projects due Friday, Oct. 9
*Start early, don't go too big. I would encourage the drawing route, unless you have your heart set on an alternative idea.

Take care all, I will be quicker getting this up tomorrow!

Greetings on another Monday folks,

Another great weekend has come and gone and we are fresh and ready for a new week, so here is the homework:

1. Math: pages 29 and 30 (we did #3 in class)
The remembering section will count as a mini-quiz tomorrow (1-12)

*Remember that Thursday will be our first Unit Test. I'll have them ready to go!

2. Ultimate School Project due on Friday, Oct. 9
*Your kids are bringing home a sheet that explains this assignment. For those who have had me in the past, these project have gotten BIG, I don't really want to go that route this time. I want to focus on the ideas, not on GIANT displays. Let the kids follow this where they wish. It's a great early test of TIME MANAGEMENT! Good luck. Help organize, but overall hands off mom and dad!

*A note about the Camp Pendalouan fundraiser will be coming home in a day or so, get ready, it's an easy one!

Take care.

Mr.K

Happy Thursday Everyone,

A good week is nearly over, and here is what is expected for the remainder of the week:

1. Math: pages 27+28 (due Friday)
There are a couple of extra credit opportunities out there. The multiplication x's tables as well as creating a worksheet off of tonight's mini-table concept

*Don't forget our first math test will be a week from today (Thursday, Oct. 1)
I will actually show the test to the kids on Wednesday so they get a feel for how it will look as well as what will generally be there. Their homework pages and notebooks will be great study guides to bring home on Wednesday night.

2. Writing: Rough Drafts of the personal narratives are due tomorrow. (Don't worry they're just rough drafts, they don't even need to be very good.)

That's all for now guys. Have a great Thursday night.

Mr. K

Greetings everyone,

Sorry, it's about 5:00 now that I'm getting to this, but here is tonight's homework:

1. Math: pages 23 and 24 (a very good homework page, I really urged the kids to work on this alone tonight as a real test to see if they could "struggle" through it without having to ask Mom and Dad a ton of questions.)

*The first Math test will be next Thursday, Oct. 1. (Don't worry, you'll all be ready!)

Take care.

Hi Everyone,

Hope your weekend went well! Busy, but good days here in the room for sure!

Here is what is up tonight:

1. Social Studies Quiz tomorrow (study guide included, and everyone should have it home)
The kids took a pre-quiz today and many of those questions will be on tomorrow's quiz

2. Math: 5 student made story problem worksheet. We are working on creating our own story problems , there are 5 different varieties that the kids experimented with.

3. The kids are currently finishing up rough drafts of their first personal narrative essays. Most of this should be done in class, but I want them by Friday so if they are not finished by Wednesday or Thursday they may need to take them home.

Girl's elementary basketball sign-up sheets went home tonight, that is the league that I will coach here at school, so I'd love to have you sign-up, but remember the $ doesn't go to me, you need to send it in to the NORP office!

Take care all. See you tomorrow class.

Mr. K
