October 3, 2008

note from Mrs. Campbell #5

Hi Everyone,

Social Studies:  The Navtive American projects are underway.  The children have been busy gathering information about the tribe they have chosen.  More class time, as well as library and computer lab time, will be offered for this project next week.  I would like the students to have 2 paragraphs written by Friday.

Scholastic News:  No SN next week.

Spelling:  Unit 5.  The children have the list of words.  Pages 24-26 will be assigned for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  The students should take some time to study the bonus words:  secretary, treasurer, senate, cashier, summon, vanish.  They can be found on page 156 of the spelling text.

Conferences:  Waiting until December is a long time to wait for conferences, so I would like to get started soon.  I am available before and after school.  An evening or late afternoon time can be set aside once I know what you would prefer.

Tuesday after school help:  I am available for homework help on most Tuesdays until 4:00.  We usually devote some of the time for math review.  FYI:  I will not be able to stay on October 14, as I have a meeting at the middle school.

Have a nice weekend,

Connie Campbell

note from Mrs. Campbell # 9

Hi Everyone,

I forgot to mention in the last blog about After School Help.  Last week I was unable to stay due to a meeting, but this week I am planning to stay after school Tuesday to give help with math and homework.  All students are welcome to stay until 4:00.  There is no late bus leaving from Sea Road, so parents need to make arrangements for the children to be picked up.
