Team Mindcrafters Weekly Update

Parents,

Fallen Timbers Band - This is the last chance for your child to sign up for instrument fittings which start tomorrow.  In order for them to be able to do this, you MUST complete this online form: www.awbands.com/join

Math.  In Math, many students are finishing or have finished mastery of the 150 Math objectives in Accelerated Math.  For reaching this important milestone, they have earned a couple perks.  First, math homework will be optional for these students until the end of the year.  Second, all students who reach mastery of 150 objectives will earn a special technology party the last week of school.  For this, students will be allowed to bring in their own devices (with parent approval) and play games on them (with teacher approval).  Students can also simply use the devices available at school to play games as well.

Toy take apart.  We are learning about electrical circuits in science class. We will do an activity called Toy Take-Apart, during which the students will take apart simple battery-operated children's toys. If you have any toys that you can donate for this project, it would be greatly appreciated. The toys will be disassembled and probably will not be usable after the project, so please send only toys that your family does not want anymore.  (ie. small toys like you might get in Happy Meal)

Please send any old, battery-operated toys in by this Friday. If you are not able to send any toys, that's okay. Toys will be provided for those who do not bring them from home.


Bike Hike.  This exciting event is just around the corner.  Make sure your child is getting out and riding both to practice and to make sure that their bike is in good working condition.  A properly fitting bike helmet will be required for all riders.  If you cannot afford one for your child, please contact your child's homeroom teacher so we can make arrangements to get them one.
