Hello Everyone,
*All students are expected to bring their blue binders and AR book home and back to school daily. Students need a parent signature on their planner each night and a parent initial on the reading log nightly homework when it comes home. Please be sure to check with your child.
**Back to School Night and Coloma Meeting: Wednesday September 25th. I will give a classroom presentation at 7:15 - 8:00 for parents. At 8:00 p.m. I will provide information about the COD--Coloma Outdoor Discovery School this year. I look forward to greeting everyone and talking about the new Coloma program that the Outdoor School provides. (Mark your calendars Coloma: Oct. 16-18).
*Taco Movie Night -- Friday Sept. 20th 6 p.m.
Math: multiples. Nightly review of the lesson with an adult or care giver is important for student success.
Social Studies: Gold Rush.
Spelling/Grammar: we will review exclamatory, declarative, imperative, interrogative in conjunction with simple, compound, and complex sentences in the coming weeks and practice capitalization rules. Daily spelling homework will be assigned each Monday and wrap up with a brief quiz on Friday in the classroom. Prepositions have been introduced.
Enjoy your week!
Warmly,
Heather

Here are some of the changes to Coloma this year:
*We have a size limitation on luggage: 9 x 22 x 14 is the largest size we can accommodate.
*Each student requires a backpack, water bottle and sack lunch for the first day.

*This program operates with 6 parent chaperones and is run more like the outdoor science school.
*An online chaperone volunteer form will be released shortly. We require 3 dads in the boy's bunkhouse and 3 moms in the girl's bunkhouse for a 1:4 ratio approximately. There are no cabins on this experience.
*We truly appreciate our parent volunteers; however, if we have a higher number of volunteers than spaces, we will use a lottery system to select our chaperones. We do require that chaperones have roomy, safe vehicles and report with other people's children as well as their own.

*This is an excellent program and highly valued by the many schools who attend. Exceptionally trained staff, naturalists and other professionals run this educational and fun excursion with many activities like campfire with Native American guest, panning for gold, hoe-down with live band and dancing, and naturalist-lead state park exploration with hike of Monroe Ridge.
*I will follow up with packing lists and additional information for students and chaperones in the next week and in particular at the meeting on the 25th.
