402 pairs of denim collected!!!! Dear Parents, Thank you again for the pumpkins. We enjoyed estimating the number of seeds in the various sizes of pumpkins. Please ask your child about their findings. The "Dead Words" have been put to rest. Students will be using more precise words in their writing from now on. Mentor Poems *selected and copied for teacher approval on Nov. 2nd *printed and border completed, very little white space on Nov. 9th *memorized with expression on Nov. 30th We have Westwood High School PRO's available to our grade level during Comet Club time at the end of the day. They will come at least twice a week to pull small groups for enrichment or academic support, depending on the needs of our students. We would love for all of our students to have the option to participate. Please sign and return the form that will come home in the 11/3 Tuesday folder if you are on board! November Night Writes Students will complete ONE November Night Write. The expectations include brainstorming, plan, rough draft, revising and editing (which includes color coding stoplight paragraphs), and handwritten final copy on paper provided from the teacher. The expository is due no later than November 30th. The Night Write choices can be found in the Documents tab. The assignment has been reduced to only one composition. Beginning November 16th, students will have nightly biography reading and notes, so it would be best note to procrastinate. Students will be given the assignment on Monday. From the Counselor.... Our character word for November is GENEROSITY!! We celebrate Thanksgiving in November and the last half of that word is GIVING. Being generous or "giving" means that you give your time, your kindness, or your possessions to other people without expecting anything in return. You do this because you enjoy giving to others. In November, if your teacher sees you being generous, then you will get a sticker to wear all day so that other students will know that you demonstrated our character word of the month!
