Hello,
The blog system is not cooperating this afternoon and didn't publish my Monday update - very frustrating! Anyway, we will be starting the president report in class this week. There are several components to this report which will be clearly explained in a the guidelines I will give my students tomorrow. I will have them bring these guidelines home for you to review with them as well. With this report I will be covering skills such as note-taking, paraphrasing, report organization, and writing a bibliography. The rough drafts of the report will be completed in class, and the final drafts will be done as homework.
I will be sending home two field trip permission slips this week - one for the symphony and one for the national weather service. The symphony trip is $4.00 per student (for the buses) and the other is free.
Congratulations to our class spelling bee winners, Hannah Whitted and Jessica Scoppettone. They will be competing against all the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade winners in our school bee this Friday. Good luck to them both!
***Please remember that the science weather project is due this Friday.
Thanks,

Mrs. Koue
