Thursday #164 2012-2013

Day 164 of week 37
May 23, 2013
Mr. Hubbard's Teacher Appreciation Gift Today!!
Big news -- Open House tonight is from 6:30-7:30
Big news #2 -- kids don’t need to pack a lunch tomorrow since the parents earned a pizza lunch and ice-cream social for the 5th graders (highest % of parents at the post auction night)

Next Wednesday is the big tide-pool field trip.  Students need to be here and ready to enter the bus at 7:30 a.m. SHARP.  The bus drives away at 7:42 and 30 seconds.  Therefore do NOT be late and use the restroom either here at school or at home.  We have the more cost-effective bus so it doesn’t have a restroom.  

We could use a few more chaperons for this field trip.  
So far we have confirmed:
Guidi, Nolan, Ferguson, Wanzenried, Callaway, Holmes, Lutz, and Maplesden.  
If you are interested and have met all of the pre-background check stuff, then please let me know ASAP.  We could use 2 to 3 more chaperons.  

More information to come on Tuesday..Everyone needs to pack a lunch & snack.  Wear shoes you don’t mind getting wet and/or ruined and how to dress.  

Today -- big 5th grade singing practice for next Wednesday night’s singing concert.  Please have your son/daughter show up and sing if it is at all feasible.

Students spent the day working on the following projects:
Famous American
Open House Presentation
More economics with Khan Academy and cupcakes.   
More CNN-Students
More Brainpops

They also spent some more time discussing the science behind the family life unit.  I believe the discussion is the changes that occur during puberty.  Feel free to ask your son/daughter questions and get their perspective on what they are learning.

Finally we spent the time after lunch getting ready for Open-House.  We cleaned, we organized, we put items into the “take home” or “stays here” folders, and helped our more “organizationally challenged” peers.  

Kind Regards,
Mr. Hubbard
