Important Information for Tuesday, April 23, 2013

Voting Day in Monroe


Tomorrow, voting on our town budget will take place in our gymnasium from 6:00am-8:00pm. Our side parking lot will have parking spaces designated for Voter Parking Only. This will limit the number of spaces available for parents who need to pick up their children at the end of the day. We would encourage you to have your child take the bus home tomorrow. Our dismissal procedures for student pick-up will begin tomorrow at 3:20 in the APR. Please use the front door to access the building. Parking in front of the school is not permissible due to bus arrival.

Pet Dinosaur

During last week's Book Fair, each grade level had the chance of winning a Dinosaur Egg to hatch in the classroom.

We won!

Here's a picture of our new class pet!

Dinosaur Rocks Assembly

To end our Big Read, students participated in an assembly titled Dinosaur Rocks.  Students got to see casts of various dinosaurs and learn lots of information from the various periods in which dinosaurs roamed the earth.  Below is a link to a video that was made and includes lots of great pictures taken during the two assemblies.  Enjoy it!  A huge thank you to Lisa Martinski for putting it together for us.

Here's to another fantastic Big Read!

BTW....

With the upcoming School Book Fair during conferences, I've decided not to send home any Scholastic Book Order forms.  This way, Book Fair profits will help the entire school rather than just Room 10!

I will be sending home Order Forms again after the April break!

Thanks.

Project #2

With the success of the last independent project - it's time for another!

On Friday, March 22, students were given a timeline for a book project due April 12.  The timeline is as follows:

• Start thinking of a book of fiction to read and do the project on.  Use www.scholastic.com/bookwizard and choose Guided Reading Level to check on the book's level.
• By Wednesday, March 27, students must bring in the book and/or title for my approval.  I will check on the book's level to make sure that it's the right fit!
• April 1, I will distribute the project and the requirements to each student.
• April 12, book projects are due.  Students should be prepared to share a brief oral summary on the book and explain why the book was chosen.

Happy reading!
