Notices
* Tomorrow, Tuesday, is PICTURE DAY. The office was late notifying us. Envelopes went home with students today — be sure you have your child return it tomorrow. Adelante school apologizes for the late notice and inconvenience.
* Thank you for coming to Back-to-School night. It was great to meet everyone!
* We have received approval and booked a date for our field trip to Yosemite National Park with the Yosemite Institute (YI). The dates are Monday May 27 (Memorial Day) – Friday May 31, 2008. The cost will be about $470. per student. This price includes unlimited food, housing, program instruction, and transportation to and from the park. The first payment of $117.50 is due before October 1 to ensure our space with YI.
This trip is an important part of the Earth Science curriculum, so we expect everyone to participate. We also realize that not everyone will be able to afford the full cost of the trip. Therefore, we will be having various fund-raising activities to earn money to help offset part of the cost for those who need financial assistance.
Watch for a letter to come home soon concerning an informational meeting for parents.
Homework
* Students must read in English a minimum of 30 minutes every day, including weekends. This reading will be a part of the English Language Arts grade. Record your child’s reading on the weekly reading sheet, and return it on Monday.
* There is a book report due September 28. Students need to bring the third and final milestone in this Friday.
* There is math homework almost every night.
Testing
* There will be a spelling test on Friday covering ALL spelling words that we have had so far this year.
