HAPPY FIRST DAY OF FALL! As light and dark find balance at this time of year, we are aiming for that too.... OPEN HOUSE INFO: If you could not join us for the Open House, please take a look at the Open House Page- Click Here. NO SCHOOL & HOMEWORK: Because of the holiday, I did not give any homework that is due on Thursday. On the other hand, everyone should be reading and there are some items due Friday.
SUB ON THURSDAY: Teachers in grades 3-8 will be at an all day literacy training on Thursday, 9/24. I have been contacted by the substitute who will be in 5S. She is new to the area but was a classroom teacher for many years in Florida. I will make sure she has detailed plans and Ms. Meader and Ms. Cuddihy will also be in 5S to make sure everything runs smoothly. Of course, I don't mind learning new skills, but I am sorry to miss being with 5S. RECYCLING STARTS FRIDAY- At Driscoll, 5th graders are responsible for collecting and emptying recycle bins around the school. This happens every Friday morning at the start of the school day. The process begins this Friday, September 25th. Students should arrive by 7:45 or 7:50 at the latest to make sure they collect the bin before school starts. I will send home the list of the rooms 5S students will be taking care of. They will find out more about it on Thursday. CAVE DISCOVERY: 5S had a great conversation about the discovery of 1,500 or so hominid fossils in a South African cave. If you want to know more about it, you can go to this site: CLICK HERE. In the process of learning about caves, I found out that cave explorers no longer like to be called spelunkers. They prefer the term cavers- you can read more here. With that said, I hope everyone - cavers too- has a chance to be outside on this sunny entrance into fall. ~ Ms. S Comments are closed.
