This Week in Room 37: November 2 - 6

Outdoor School
Ms. Hill sent home on Monday a packing reminder list and held a class meeting to go over, one last time, everything you need to know for a successful trip to Outdoor School. A few things to keep in mind: 

  • Students cannot ride the normal school bus to school on Wednesday or home from school on Friday. Please arrange for your student to be at school at 10:30 on Wednesday (luggage can be dropped off starting at 8:15am on Wednesday, and if that must happen we advise the student be dropped off with a friend until the 10:30 drop off time). Students must be picked up from school on Friday at 1:15 pm as the normal afternoon bus cannot accommodate the luggage
  • Students need to bring sleeping bags, and rain coats to ODS along with the other items on the supply list, but remember phones and electronic devices are not allowed
  • Parents wishing to visit ODS must contact the ODS directly and schedule an appointment, usually around a meal time (see ODS website HERE)
Language Arts
  • How to Packet is now due on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10th this includes a rough draft and a FINAL draft
  • Class time this week will be used for editing and revising
  • Class time next week will be used for final draft work
Reading
  • Class time this week will be used for Plot notes, next week we will have a plot notes review and on November 10th (the last day of the quarter) we will have an incentive for students that did not turn in any MDFs
Social Studies
  • This week we will finish reading and taking notes in Chapter 1 Section 1. Next week we will review the chapter and on November 10th have a chapter 1 section 1 quiz
END OF THE QUARTER
  • November 10th is the last day of the quarter and grades will be finalized and sent home the following week. If a student is in need of a retake, the deadline has most likely passed, but check with Miss B in class or via email if you need to retake something before the end of the quarter
