BizTown is TOMORROW!!!  Be sure to:

*Bring a sack lunch, labelled with your name/teacher/business

*Wear comfortable shoes

*Wear dress code or professional attire (no jeans)!

*Be ready to ROCK your last field trip of elementary school!  :)

*Check out the family newsletter below to talk about it at home!  We will be leaving in the morning, and the busses will be back by 2:30 (since we rented them from another school, they have to be back in time to pick up their own schools, so you can plan on the busses being on time!)--so plan on picking up your child at the regular 3:05 time!  :)

Homework: (Due THURSDAY!)

1) Math: Review sheet, both sides

2) Language Arts (this is new; we'll do some each day until CRT's to give us some extra practice): "Alexander Graham Bell" Comprehension worksheet

3) Read 20 minutes & turn in signed reading log!

4) If you didn't already, complete your How the World Works Assessment!  Click here for the rubric!  Remember, you can choose any format--an essay, a skit, a Prezi--but it needs to be neat and informative!

Items of Business: 

*NEW: We are in need of Clorox Disinfectant Wipes!  Thank you so much! 

*Class Store: If you have any extra soda, candy, trinkets, jewelry, or toys that you would like to donate to class store, please send it with your child! We would like to do one more often to serve as a motivator for positive behavior!
