Weekly Reminders: Rooms 20 & 21
Dear Room 20 & 21 Parents,
We hope you all enjoyed the long Veteran's Day weekend. I know our students seemed to appreciate a little extra time for themselves, and it seems that they are ready to resume their studies as our week begins. We have a full week of all subjects, plus our first performing arts field trip today and a great Lawrence Hall of Science assembly to look forward to on Wednesday. A great goal for this week is to be prepared to respond- to questions, requested assignments, volunteer opportunities, or friends in need. Being aware of your environment and responsive to your own needs and the needs of others is a valuable trait for all of us to incorporate into our character.
Literature circle meetings will conclude on Wednesday, and once again, a big "thank you" to the parents who have volunteered and have given up valuable time to help us out. It makes a huge difference in our ability to see what is going on in each group. We've learned a lot about our classes' critical thinking abilities by observing during this activity, and it will guide our approach to our core literature studies for the remaining trimesters.
Math Olympiads Parent Volunteers:
We would like to thank all parents who’ve signed up to help out with Math Olympiads this year. We have formed three teams, and three parents per team have been chosen as volunteers. We have contacted all volunteers via email already. The first contest will take place tomorrow, November 16th, during school hours.
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.
