In the Classroom... 10/20/17
Your child has a ziplock bag inside his/her bookbag. Inside it is info on Math & Science Night, Project Reminder info (including your child's due date for the project). I did not send extra track out work for your child to do. Instead, I encouraged the kids to make sure they read every night and to begin his/her project. Their research sheet is also inside their baggie along with the grading rubric. Projects are due the week of Nov. 27th. Each child has a different day it's due. Check out the Notes section for your child's date or again, look in his/her ziplock baggie. I will have a track out blog posted on my website for the kids to post his/her reading. If they read 7 books or 1 chapter book over break and post a brief summary of the books on our blog, then he/she will have lunch with me on the Friday we track back in. Also on my website will be a Track Out Math Stumper for the kids to solve for a special treat when we come back. Your child can work on any of the websites during break too.
Pledging is still open for Boosterthon through next week. We have two students who are in a close race for the highest pledges. After pledging closes, I will announce the winner of the gift card! We are up to $35 per lap. Thanks for your support!
I hope that you all enjoy your break and time with your kids. We track back in on Nov. 13th.
Take Care,
Ms. Gower

Notes-
Families, this year's Math and Science Night is quickly approaching. Please join us on Thursday, Nov. 2nd for many FUN hands on activities. We have some returning presenters, some new, and some rotations led by our own WSES teachers! K-2 rotations are from 6:00-7:10 and 3-5 rotations are from 7:30-8:40. Food Trucks will be serving in front of the school from 5:30-8:00 and the 5th Grade Science Fair will run from 6:00-7:10 in the gym. In your child's Friday folder this week will be the Math and Science Night Plan and Map so your family can make 3 choices for your rotations. Space is limited in many rooms, so please have a few backup choices. Hope to see you on November 2nd!
