Many parents have offered to chaperone our upcoming field trip, donated goodies for our reward parties, provided monetary assistance for others to go on the field trip to the beach, volunteered to work in the team office, and countless other things. These items are considered inappropriate accessories when worn inside the building. Halloween is just around the corner and many students are becoming rather excited. It is very important for students to understand they are not permitted to wear costumes to school. Please discourage your child from bringing candy and gum to school on the days following Halloween.
Many students find it difficult to save the candy for lunch.
We started the year by reviewing a lot of information on the continents and oceans, basic map skills, and the five themes of geography. The Sharks team then began a study of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. We are now beginning a study of Europe during the Renaissance and Reformation. After a brief history unit, we will take a journey to Western Europe. Students will be reading novels in English that relate to this particular region.
