Tuesday #137 2012-2013


Happy Day 137 of week 32
Tuesday, April 16, 2013

Intel field trip is this Thursday.
Reminder: your son/daughter need to bring a bag lunch for Thursday
We are eating on the road therefore we will not have access to purchasing food.  If this  is a challenge let me know ASAP so I can have the school cafeteria create a bag lunch for your son/daughter however they do require a day’s notice.  

Testing is almost here.
Here is the schedule:
April 30th Language Arts
May 1st Language Arts
May 2nd Math
May 7th Math
May 8th Science
All of them will happen from 10:30-12:30
Look for a volunteer list soon asking for parents to supply water and “healthy” & appropriate snacks.

Tonight is the Dublin Elementary night at the District Office.   It begins at 6:30’ish.  So if you want to come and support our school or root for Olivia from our class, please feel free to show up.

The last two days the students have begun reviewing all of the math that we have covered this school year.  With the www.pearsonsuccessnet.com exams combined with the pre-spring break assessments the students have a great idea on which areas to focus their study efforts and practice time.  I have been going around answering math questions and also helping students find where to re-review lessons on Khan Academy, ixl.com and scootpad.  I have no way of verifying if they are or not, but I have asked the students to continue the practice at home over the next two weeks.
Websites they can use:
prepdog.org
khanacademy.com
ixl.com
scootpad.com
freerice.com
brainpop.com movies

Don’t forget next week (4/22/13 at 2:10 p.m. in Mrs. Cargo’s room)  we are having our end of the year meeting.  I understand people have concerns, opinions and suggestions for improving the current game plan.  Next week’s meeting promises to have all of the stakeholders in one room therefore we can best communicate and propose making any changes or improvements to the final week.  

Kind regards,
Mr. Hubbard
