| Weekly Update |  | October 13-15, 2008
A HUGE pat on the back goes to our fifth graders that took on the skilled responsibility of patrols during the time when our sixth grade students traveled to Wolf Ridge Environmental Center. They did a wonderful job in service to their school community.
This week is shortened, due to the annual Teacher's convention, so we will not have a spelling list. We will work on our Word Wall instead.
On Monday we have Music, Tuesday is Phy Ed, Wednesday is Science. On Monday we will have a computer session in the morning and Art enrichment in the afternoon. We will go to our school library on Tuesday morning so remember your books. Band lessons are on Tuesday and Orchestra lessons are at the end of the day on Wednesday. Remember to bring your instruments to school.
On Monday we will take a test on the review unit two in math. On Tuesday we will group for math. This will be a flexible placement, and students will be tested frequently. There will be a daily problem to solve, and sessions will have enrichment and extra credit opportunities.
The leaf links are to be finished by Tuesday. We should have used at least one simile, metaphor and personified sentence with descriptive language. Since I helped with the editing, there will be no exceptions for late work. The final copies should be done in black pen or fine tip marker.
The New York state sheet is due on Monday. There will be no newsnote this week. This and next week's Super Star will be Sam. He has chosen Wisconsin to research. It will be due the Monday after the convention. Our mascot Vonschnugglebug the III will be visiting Ellie until the following Monday. We are hoping that they will write about any fun events they shared.
Last week we combined the two fifth grade classes and had sessions with Mr. Olmsted's class. The students learned how to plot the X and Y axis for latitude and longitude.
More information will be found in the daily planner. Please make sure that it is updated and signed each evening.
Enjoy the lovely fall weather everyone,

School Patrols
This year, Ms Lee and Mr. Olmsted will be in charge of the sixth grade
patrols. We, as fifth graders, will have an opportunity to
cover patrol corners several times during the year. As always, this
will be done with a spirit of service in mind and a dedication to
keep our younger students safe while crossing streets.
Our first experience will be during the days that the 6th graders travel for a week to Wolf Ridge Environmental Center. |

School Store
The month of September interested students took the School Store test. Qualified students formed teams and will alternate working at the store in the morning, and watch our school community respond to positive
service for them. *****************
The test determined a student's ability to handle money and goods. Those qualified were given an opportunity to work, promote, and
manage the St. Anthony Park School Store. Those who did not qualify, or
choose not to work the first semester, can apply or retake the test the
first week in January.
The store benefits the school in several ways. It provides inexpensive
school supplies to our population of kindergarten through sixth grade
students. It also allows our fifth graders first hand experience in the
management of a small business. Finally, the money earned by the store
goes for camp scholarships, books, classroom projects and several fun
activities throughout the year.
Our store is open daily from 8:55-9:15 AM., and it carries a variety of
pencils, notebooks, sharpeners, pens, tools for learning, and a few
novelty items. The prices of these items range from $.10 to $2.00, and
the inventory is updated often by different team orders. |
