¡Buenos días Padres y/o Encargados!:

               Espero que al recibir éste mesaje todos esten bien. Les deseo recordar que es muy importante que su hijo (a) devuelva su diario de lectura diariamente para recibir crédito. Estoy en el proceso de cambiar el diario de lectura para que se les haga mas fácil.

Mañana tenemos una presentación de clases sobre el tema "El Mundo en Nuestro Patio" a las 9:50 am. Espero verlos.

El 24 de octubre el salón 162 va a visitar la casa de bomberos en conexion con el tema "LA Comunidad" y el salón 161 va el 25 de octubre.

El 31 de octubre los niños pueden traer su disfraz a las escuela y por la tarde se puede cambiar ya que vamos a ir a vistar a Tower One. Si usted no desea que su hijo(a) participé, favor de comunicar su deseo.

Espero que si usted tiene alguna preocupación or duda hable conmigo tan pronto posible para aclarar situaciones.

Gracias,

Señora Viviana Ortiz

There is no math homework tonight (10/19). Due to our field trip we missed math today! Have a great night. 

Due to some bus confusion today, room 158 did not make it to Tower 1. There were 5 busses waiting outside. three were full so room 158 started to board the 4th bus. Not realizing it, that bus was not going to Tower 1. By the time a new bus made their way back to school to pick up the class we were heading back. On Halloween, we will make sure that this problem does not happen again and we will all attend the trip. We will be making a costume at school, so the students will not bring in their own costumes.

Literacy Performance Tasks

1.  Choose a topic that you can use to write a “how-to” speech and deliver the speech to the class. For example…. “How to decorate a Christmas tree, bake cookies, make a bridge for science etc. Be creative in your approach!!!!

2.  Analyze your science and social studies textbooks: Which is better-written? Why? What is it about the author’s style that you like? Write a letter to the author/s describing what you like and offer suggestions for what would make for strong improvement.

3.  Take a stand on a controversial issue and write an essay exploring both sides of the issue---even the one you don’t support.

4.  Create a class magazine or newspaper focused on a controversial topic (such as global warming, rap music, etc). Include informative articles, editorials, letters to the editor, comic strips, feature articles, etc all focused on the issue and taking a stand where appropriate.
