Weekly Reminders 9/27

Weekly Reminders: Rooms 20 & 21

Dear Room 20 & 21 Parents,

As we finish up the month of September, there are many subjects that require some type of concluding activity before our October break begins. It will be important for students to use their time wisely both inside and outside of school. Checking homework sheets before leaving school, packing appropriate study materials, and reviewing assignments when arriving at home will be key elements in proper preparation and study. Concentrate on reviewing information for Science and Social Studies over the next 2-3 evenings; doing some work each day will help your son or daughter retain the information. And, as always, proper rest, exercise, and nutrition will give each person's mind the optimum conditions for school. Good luck to all this week!

Thank You For Helping!
A big thank you to Mrs. Alam, Mrs. Verma, Mrs. Yenuganti, and Mrs. Suria for helping with our California Salt Dough map project in social studies. These volunteers made dough and volunteered their time throughout the two day project. The maps look great, and we couldn't have done it without you!


As you are now aware, our Reminders are now linked to our website, so that you can access all of this information each Monday. Go to the Portal Website (https://sites.google.com/a/cusdschools.org/murdock-portal) and click on 4-5 Villages and then Rockhoppers Rooms 20 and 21. Weekly Reminders will be on the left side.

For the immediate future, reminders will also be sent by email, and they are posted on our blog as well.
