Week 11 Oct. 23-27

Greetings Team Urban,

Thank you to all the chaperones who helped out with Friday's field trip to the Safari Park, Mrs. Tyree, Mr. Beaucaire, Mr. Crandell, Mr. Kingsley, and Mr. Vecchio.  All of the students had a great time! If you have any pics from this trip, send them to me and I can post them here next week.

This week I will be out of the classroom on Wednesday and Thursday for a continuation of a Thinking Maps conference I began in the summer.  Mrs. Star White will be the substitute for these two days.  

With the end of the trimester approaching, so does the AR goal deadline.  Students have until Nov. 2nd to make their AR goal for the first trimester.

Also, students voted in class on Thursday for 1 of 2 choices when they pass their Multiplication/Division Timed Tests.  They can choose either a donut or $500 class cash.
