Curriculum Night and Pringle Update

Last Thursday night was curriculum night for grades 3-5 at Klem South.  Thank you to all the parents who attended!  The kids were so excited to get a note from you!  For those parents who were unable to attend, I put the powerpoint presentation on our class web page and sent home the handouts with your child.  The powerpoint has lots of information on how our curriculum has shifted with the common core and how you can help your child at home.  If anyone needs paper copies of anything, please just send me a note, and I would be happy to send home printed versions!

Another thing we did at curriculum night was sign up for parent/teacher conferences in November.  There are still days and times available.  If you have not signed up for a conference, I will be sending home a note of the available days/times.  I will ask you to mark three choices.  I will do all that I can to have your first or second choice for our conference.

Our Package the Pringle project is in full swing!  Students were organized into their teams, and have started to plan how they will build a package to get that Pringle to Hong Kong with little damage!  This week, the groups will finish their plans, and start building their packages.  They will have the opportunity to test their package and make adjustments throughout the process.  Our goal is to have the packages mailed to Hong Kong next week!  I have just heard that our partner class in Hong Kong will be mailing them to us very soon!  The kids did VERY well last week working with their groups.  I heard lots of excitement, encouragement, and big plans coming together! 

This week should be another exciting week!  Don't forget....this Friday is the fourth grade Fun Run!  All fourth graders in Webster will be at North Ponds Park for a mile fun run.  It is a great event and we are sure to have fun!  Have a great week!!
