What's Going On...

States and Capitals: The students are learning states, capitals, abbreviations, and locations on the map.  Every Tuesday your child is quizzed over states, capitals, and state abbreviations.  Then, on Friday they take a map quiz to locate each state.  


Basket Raffle: The North Greene Middle School Parent Organization is having a basket raffle.  Each class has been asked to create a basket and the fifth grade chose a gift card basket.  Please send $3.00 with your child to school by November 25.  The money from the basket raffle supports the school and many activities for your child.  You will have a chance to buy tickets at a later date!


AR: I have set a deadline for the students to get seven points by November 30.  They have known about this since the beginning of November, so please remind them to read each evening.  Parents and/or older siblings are more than welcome to read to them or with them.  


Raging Readers: Students received a sheet at the beginning of November to fill out for Raging Readers.  If the students read 300 pages, they will receive a free Raging Rivers Waterpark ticket for the 2010 season!  


Progress Reports: They will come out December 11.  Students need to be turning in their best work!
