Week of January 16th Update

Families in Room 31 ~

Just a few updates for this week. 

1.  RECORDERS & MEDIA BOOKS TOMORROW - The students need their RECORDERS and their MEDIA books tomorrow as it is TUESDAY!

2.  SOCIAL STUDIES TEST - January 31st - We will be completing our lessons on the SOUTH REGION this week.  The students will be bringing home a STUDY PACKET and their SOCIAL STUDIES TEXT BOOK on Wednesday.  They will be having a test on the SOUTH REGION - (climate, physical features, natural resources and economy) later this month.   (Tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, January 31st.). This will give them TWO weeks to STUDY at home as we will be reviewing in school during socials studies.  Please make sure the students are reviewing / reading nightly during this time.   Also, please make sure the SOCIAL STUDIES TEXT BOOK, is sent back to school by the day of the test.

3.  SCIENCE - This week (Thursday) we are working to build a chain reaction machine.  You child https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2odi5nszWKc
may come home and ask to bring in some materials to build their machine. (ex... dominoes, hot wheels...).   They are developing their own plan on Tuesday / Wednesday.  Please know that I have given them permission to bring these materials to school on Thursday!  They will bring them home either Thursday or Friday.  Here is a link to a video about a chain reaction machine. (Ours will NOT be this complicated!). Chain Reaction Link:

4.  Just to let you know, I will be at a SCIENCE TRAINING meeting Tuesday morning.  I did tell the students on Friday, but I believe some of them were out at their lockers when this was shared.   Please remind your child about my meeting and also have them discuss with you what the EXPECTED BEHAVIOR would be with a substitute in the class room for the morning.  I will be returning to class around 11:45.    Thanks for your support!

Please feel free to get in touch with any questions / concerns.
