Dates to Remember
King County Elections Office, Thursday, October 20th
Camp Sealth November 2nd through the 4th
Shakespeare Performances will be held March 13th and 14th
(not sure which date is which class, yet).
Camp Sealth
We are starting to take money for Sealth and each child will be $125. Adults will be $100. If you need assistance with this, please contact Beth Lee at brlee@seattleschools.org.
Make checks payable to Cascadia Elementary. We also want to make sure
kids are comfortable, so make sure you have warm dry clothing. If you
have any extras and think you can pass them down to someone else in the
class, feel free to send in any clean wet weather gear.
Mr. Hill’s Class
The
biggest news this week is that we received our lab coats. They had our
custom made name badges on them and they look amazing. We are sharing
them with Mr. Browns class but I expect they will help a great deal to
keep our cloths clean. This week the Order of the Phoenix's met to discuss the charter and ways to live it in our everyday lives..
Mr. Hill has a blog that you can check for additional information and resources for both classes.
Schoolology
Here is a link to the district Student Portal. One of the links is Schoolology and has logins for both students and parents. I use this for my grade book, for assignments and other communications. This link
is information on logging in and I will be teaching students how to log
in, in the first few weeks. It is good for students to get used to
checking grades and looking at assignments as well as being able to
communicate with their teachers before they move in to middle school and
hopefully this will help prepare them for next year.
Typing Agent
There is also a link on that same district site, to typing agent. Students all have a login and we encourage each student to spend a regular amount of time practicing as much as possible.
Math
We
ended last week with integers and began this week with rational
numbers. Adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing decimals and
fractions is our goal but throwing into the equation, positive and
negatives.
Here are some pictures of last weeks games.
Science
We
ran our first experiment with our stream tables. Creating streams that
ran down the middle. We will be adjusting this basic experiment in the
future to look at the differences between faster moving water and
steeper slopes. We also read about how the crust of the earth gets its
features, looking at tectonic plates, the layers of the earth and
convection currents.
Volunteers
We
are going to need chaperones and volunteers for events this year.
Please get your paperwork in as soon as possible the deadline for this
paperwork is October 15th and the district is not flexible about that
date. If you would like to be one of the overnight chaperones for camp,
that paperwork is a little different and need to be turned in as soon as
possible. Forms are available in the office. Remember to bring ID. If
you have a job or hobby that would be relevant to our in-class studies,
then we’d love to have you.
The deadline for getting volunteer paperwork is coming up on October 15th.
