Academy Plans for October 3rd through 7th, 2016

Greetings!

Hope you had a terrific weekend! Now let's see what this week holds in store:

MONDAY--We will complete the book "How to Eat Fried Worms", so NO HOMEWORK.

TUESDAY--Students will fill in a "plot line" for "Fried Worms".  This is HOMEWORK DUE WEDNESDAY. 

WEDNESDAY--LATE START--Students will read silently, so NO HOMEWORK.

THURSDAY--Students will be going to the library for a "Genre Scavenger Hunt" which will be due at the end of the period, so NO HOMEWORK.

FRIDAY--Students will be introduced to their "Student Led Conference" portfolios, so NO HOMEWORK.

Thanks for such a great turnout at the Outdoor School meeting last Thursday night.  Just a reminder to please get the T-SHIRT ORDER FORMS TURNED IN TUESDAY, OCT. 4TH.  Also, the PERMISSION/MEDICAL FORMS ARE DUE TUESDAY, OCT. 11TH, but sooner is better!  Please!  Also, if your student is bringing medication to Cispus, he/she needs to bring it and the necessary paperwork to school by TUESDAY, OCT. 11TH.  Please don't forget the $75 tuition should be paid prior to your student attending Cispus.  Thank you!  (Don't forget some scholarships are available--have your student ask for a form.)

I forgot to ask for help on the "Talent Night Screening Committee" for Cispus.  Next week (October 10th through 13th) I could use two to three (or more) parents to screen the "acts" for Talent Night for Outdoor School.  This would involve watching the students perform, making sure their performance is "school appropriate", and perhaps giving them some feedback to improve their act.  This would take place in private (the Multi-Purpose Room) during the school day (8:20 to 2:50), and would probably only take about two hours.  If some students forget their music, props, etc., it might take an extra day.  PLEASE TALK TO SOME OTHER PARENTS TO SEE SOME DAYS & TIMES WHEN YOU COULD GET THIS TO WORK OUT FOR YOU AND CONTACT ME.

 Don't forget that this Wednesday, October 5th, is a LATE START DAY.  Please plan accordingly.

Finally, the "Fund Run" will take place this Friday, October 7th.  It is our ONLY fundraiser of the year, so please support it.  Your student can still collect pledges right up until Thursday, October 6th.  If every student were to raise $25, we would have nearly $7,000 in our A.S.B. piggy bank!  Much better than selling popcorn, magazines, gift wrap, candy, etc.

As always, if you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns, please contact me right away.  The phone number in my classroom is (360) 264-3644 and the best email address to reach me at is humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us.

Have a wonderful week,
Michele Humble
