Join us Thursday night for Literacy Night! Reading is a magical and wonderful way to travel into other worlds, meet new friends, explore other environments and learn about every possible thing. Support your child’s literacy by letting them dress-up as their favorite character and come participate in our literacy games Thursday between 6pm and 8pm.

All 5th years will attend JA Biztown on March 14th, 2018. Students are to leave from North Shore at 7:30 am. They will experience commerce, banking, and so much more in this elaborate field experience in Salt Lake City. The cost is $5. It is to be paid through this link or to Melanie in the front office. Students will be applying for “jobs” over the next couple weeks, then will perform the job they are selected for while at the site. Former JABiztown students have thoroughly enjoyed this excursion. We are looking forward to it!

We DO need TWO chaperones with extensive seating to come along with us and drive . Please let me know if you are interested and able.

Students have been given a booklet to work on some of the skills needed and be able to have some of the money conversations with you at home. Some pages will not be completed and that is ok. Thank you!

Thank you to all those who have already signed up on REMIND! I’ve started using it and think it will be very effective as time goes on. For today, I will simply put as much as I can here.

Please sign-up soon for Parent-Student (Teacher) conferences. My dates are slightly different due to my absence on Friday the 16th for a conference out of town. Thank you for working with me.

I did not yet receive many entries for Science Fair, please be sure to have your 6th graders ready for Monday with their idea, title, and category. Peruse the material on the tab on this blog, and the material provided them in class.

Fifth years need to be working through their JABiztown books. I will start asking for specific work to be done at home over the next three weeks. Thank you in advance for working with them on these practical skills.

All students have access now to rubrics and examples of projects on the new Home projects page. Today, I have added the Word History Project guideline. Students talk a lot about words, where they come from, and how they are used. Many times they are surprised by the dictionary and thesaurus and their contents. Have fun chatting about word histories while working on this project! It does require a written report. An example of the expectation will be available by weekend’s end.

Do review last week’s post to access the PTC sign up and the REMIND app. Thanks again!
