All Aboard!
We will join the Whatley's Wildcats in the morning to hear a reading of The Polar Express. Pajamas are optional and especially in the morning it will be chilly so dress warmly in sweats or comfortable clothes. We will be making a Polar Express Book and watching part of the movie sometime tomorrow.
Sacagawea
We will have a visit with Sacagawea next Tuesday at 9:00 AM in the Media Center. She was a very responsible guide for the Lewis and Clark "Voyage of Discovery" to map the Louisiana Purchase. Without her lifeskills of courage and bravery, plus her knowledge of the land and languages, Lewis and Clark might not have reached the Pacific Ocean. We are following their trip with a map, making canoes, learning about keelboats, and looking at items to take on a long trip to explore new lands.
Checkpoint Testing
We will have two different days of Checkpoint Testing on Monday, Dec. 12th, and Wednesday, Dec. 14th for Math and Language Arts. We will be using the IRespond System after we take a paper and pencil test. Students have to learn to input their own testing data into the IRespond System. There is no special preparation to worry about as this is intended to cover areas we have already studied in class.
Lost Blue Old Navy Coat
I have a size 4 Old Navy blue coat with grey flannel interior lining, but none of the Comets are claiming it as their coat. If this sounds familiar to you, please let me know and I will send it home with your child. Thanks.
