AWESOME Math Website

http://www.ixl.com/?gclid=CPDByJ_Q3KsCFYiW7QodGWhURw

Students (and parents) check out this math website. This site allows you to practice ANY topic in math for ANY grade level. Challenge yourself and try a grade level or two higher than 6th to see how well you can do - OR - try some of the work for grade levels below 6th to make sure that you have mastered it! The first student who comes and tells me about their experience with this website will receive a special treat!! :)

Help Find a Cure for Cancer!

Please help Jamey find a cure for cancer! She and many other people are helping her make friendship bracelets, bookmarks, headbands, bows, rings, and lanyards. You can order any type of bracelets (we have many patterns- to see samples talk to Jamey). We can make them any color and any patteren. If you would like to help make any of these things then talk to Jamey, Kierra, MaryLi, Danielle, or Amber. To order a bracelet then go to Ms. Huston's room which is Room 111. The cancer that we are trying to raise money for is called Lipno Cancer. All the money we make will go to a bank account and it will all be donated. Please help!!

Extra Help

Any students needing extra help or time to make up missing work may stay after on Thursdays until 4:00. At least 1 Blue Jays teacher will be staying after every Thursday to assist students that need some extra support. Students will be required to have a parent note stating that they are allowed to stay after. If needed, students can be escorted to the library at 4:00 for a later parent pickup - notes need to indicate that parents approve of this arrangement. We look forward to seeing some Blue Jays on Thursdays after school!

Gattiland Field Trip

Our next field trip is scheduled for Tuesday, October 25th to Gattiland in Westport Village. We will be walking to Gattiland rain or shine (approximately a 15-20 minute walk), so students need to come dressed for the weather! At Gatti's we will complete a lesson about area and perimeter involving bumper cars and then have pizza and spend time in the game room. Unfortunately, we cannot provide students with money for the game room, but students are allowed to bring their own money from home. Students will be encouraged to help more around the house to try to earn a few extra dollars for the field trip.

IMPORTANT: Students that are missing work or having behavior issues at school will not be permitted to attend this field trip. Blue Jays - remember that ALL work is important and needs to be turned in each grading period and your behavior says a lot about your character and often determines how others treat/view you. Let's do our best these next several weeks so that ALL BLUE JAYS earn the field trip to Gattiland.
