Field Trip on Friday!

Hello!

I am so excited for our field trip on Friday. We will be walking to a women's basketball game at the University of California, Berkeley at noon on Friday. We will have lunch on campus and then catch the first half of the game before returning to school in time for dismissal at 3:20 PM. Thank you to Cantey Meigs, Sarah Williams, and Mesha Shavers for volunteering to chaperon our field trip.

Homework:
LA: Start poetry unit, due Tuesday, November 18, 2008. This unit consists of three parts: an interview, a poetry memoir, and an oral reading of a poem. I will check in with the students on Friday morning in order to assess their progress. It is important that the students now leave this assignment to the last minute, as many did with their social studies presentations. In the future, I will be assigning interim check-ins in order to help students pace their work out over several days.
Math: Study Links, Lesson 3.7
Other: Study for the math and vocabulary quizzes on Thursday, November 13, 2008. Students took home their vocabulary cards and their math notebooks to help them study.
Permission slips due tomorrow!

Cheers,
Miss Klein
