Team Mindcrafters Daily Update 5-12-16

Parents,

Forms.  We have forms from most students at this point so we will stop listing these as a reminder.  Thanks parents for helping get these turned in on time!

Fun fest tomorrow.  Please remind your child to consider the weather conditions when preparing for fun fest tomorrow.  Our grade level color is BLUE.  Its likely to be cool and a bit dewy out in the fields. Your child should be prepared for a very active day.  A water bottle (with your child's name on it) is a good idea to bring, too.  Any parents who would like to come to watch or want to volunteer to help are welcome to come, too.

General's Ice Cream Fundraiser - The 4th grade teachers will be scooping after 5:00 at Generals.  A percentage of the sales go to Whitehouse Primary so it's a delicious way to support your school!

Math.  As we approach the end of the year, this quarter's math goal is for students to master all 131 Accelerated Math objectives.  This is challenging as the objectives get pretty tough near the end.  Students who reach this goal will be exempt from Math homework for the rest of the year and will participate in a special technology party the last week of school.  I will still assign objectives for students who reach mastery, but from the fifth grade level library. (As I mentioned, this is optional as homework though.)  So far, these students have met this goal: Ava, Jack Co., Jack Ch., Charlie, Jaden, Mason, Jackson, and Zach.  Way to go!
