I want to give a big shout out to all of the parents who volunteered their time to drive and chaperone in the drizzly cold yesterday!  The experience was great and the kids learned a lot.   We will be going to the Hogle Zoo Tuesday, October 24. We will need parent drivers and chaperones for this trip as well.  As a heads up, chaperones will have an entrance fee into the zoo.  Unfortunately, our field trip funds do not cover chaperones.

Our first home project is due Monday, September 18.  We are presenting these projects to another classroom in small groups.  It is important that your child comes prepared with their project on Monday.  You can find the original post regarding this project here.

Our first IXL assignment was given last week and is due Sunday.  As outlined on the classroom management plan you received, these assignments are mandatory.  Your child is expected to record them each week in their planner and complete this work at home.  If they do not record this work in their planner, you can find it at the top of the homepage under the IXL link.  Students are welcome to practice any IXL they want, as long as the homework assignment is completed first.  I have spoken to the class about making arrangements with me if the resources needed to complete this are not available at home.

Finally, we have early release this Friday, September 22, at 1:00 pm.  Please make the necessary arrangements to pick up your child at this time.
