Team Mindcrafters Daily Update 9-12-13

Parents,

Your child may need to spend a bit more time on homework tonight.  Please remember that we try to only give one item for homework each night, which tonight is the science worksheet.  However, studying for tests and catching up with reading will sometimes make our goal of 45 minutes of school-work each night go a little over.  That is why we try to give advanced notice of upcoming tests.  This allows students to spend extra time studying on nights that they don't have too many extra-curricular activities.

Have a great evening,
Mrs. Dressel and Mr. Pransky

Reading/Language:  

Read, AR Goal for TOMORROW is 33%


Social Studies:  

Test tomorrow!  Students can study by either looking through their vocabulary words (in their vocab notebook) and reviewing chapters 47, 48, 50, 51 and 52 in their social studies booklet, OR taking a practice test on Moodle.  All students practiced taking this test during social studies today.


Some of the questions on service organizations will not be found in Chapter 50, as I tied in some local examples. 

  • The Waterville Rotary provided our school with dictionaries last year.
  • ISOH IMPACT in Waterville helps people after natural disasters.
  • The American Legion in Whitehouse is a Veteran's organization.
  • Whitehouse Parents' Club is our school's PTA.
