The Macaws: The Blog is BACK!!!!

Mrs. Horne and I apologize for the Blog being out of "commission" for a while, but it is back!!!!

Field Trip:

Students have the opportunity to attend the ACC Tournament in March.
Permission slips were sent home last Wednesday, and reminders today!!
The total price is $10.00 (cash or checks made to EFMS).
Permission slips and money are due Friday, 11/19.
If you are unable to pay until the end of the month, please go ahead and send in the permission slip.
PARENTS/GUARDIANS: WE WANT YOU TO GO WITH US!!! If you can go, please go online and fill out the volunteer form. Your cost is $10 as well.

Language Arts:

Students should be reading their book every night for 20 or more minutes.
They should write down the pages read and get a parent/guardian signature each night.
The log is due 11/12, 11/19, 12/3 and 12/8.
On 12/8, students should turn in the completed log as well as their answers to 10 questions about their famous/historical person. These answers should be written in complete sentences and either typed or written on a separate sheet of paper.
Students will then work on a "Character Traits" activity (1st period) or a "Biography Cube" (2nd period). These are due 12/15/10.
The log, questions and activity are worth a combined total of 100 points.
This counts as a Project grade which equates to 2 test grades.

Science:

Students are working on Ecology.
We are classifying animals based on their similarities.
We have been working on using the microscope. Every student earned their "microscope license"!! WAY TO GO!!!!!

Missing Work for L.A. and Science:

Students were given the names of assignments they have not completed and/or turned in, in Language Arts AND Science.
I will have extra sheets available on Friday.
This work is due Monday, 11/15.
If these assignments are not turned in on the 15th, they will be graded as a "0".

Math:
