Any parent who wants to volunteer in a class, in the media center, for Boosterthon, etc., must attend Volunteer Training as mandated by the district office. Mr. McCullers is hosting a Volunteer Training on Friday morning (9/4/15) at 10:00am and on Tuesday afternoon (9/8/15) at 2:45pm. If a parent cannot attend either of those trainings, then have them contact me directly, and I can help them complete the compliance at home. If a parent has already attended a training at the primary school, then he/she is cleared for our school, as well. All parent volunteers have to go through the training yearly.
Here is a link to the signup form for the trainings: http://www.oconeeschools.org/
The classwork scheduled for this week is:
Math
Classwork: We will complete our whole number unit. Students have a packet filed in their math folder. We are working on dividing multi-digit numbers. It is very difficult for the students who do not know their math facts to complete these problems. Please help your child review the packet skills. The SUMMATIVE TEST will be Thursday or Friday depending on your child's class.
Homework: Please make sure that your child is fluent with their multiplication and division facts through the 12s. If you need flash cards, they are available at the Dollar Stores, Walmart, and Target. Some of the websites located on this blog will also allow you to print flash cards at home. When you see the cc written in your child's agenda, it means they should finish the page we were working on during class. If they do not have a page with unanswered problems, they have probably finished what they needed to. In my 1st block class, students should be going onto the Renaissance Learning Website to complete 8 problems each night. Students in my 2nd Block class have a printed handout of their work. All student should scan on the 4th school day after receiving an assignment. Students should easily be able to complete their homework in 20 minutes.
Science
Classwork: We will complete the Cells and Microorganism unit. Students have a packet filed in their science section of their toolkit. We are learning about microorganisms this week. The SUMMATIVE TEST will probably be on Monday of next week.
Homework: Please have your child set aside approximately 10 minutes each night to review/study the materials covered in class. They need to begin developing good study habits. The Cells Quizlet on the right hand side of the blog is a good way to practice also.
Social Studies
Classwork: We will continue the Civil War Unit this week. Students have read Chapter 1 Lesson 1 and Lesson 2 in the textbook and will begin working in their student packet.
Homework: Please have your child set aside approximately 10 minutes each night to review/study the materials covered in class. They need to begin developing good study habits.
