The Great Bug Report

The Great Bug Report:

Parents our science project for this term is about Insects.
Your child is to select an insect and make a report about it.

I have passed out a packet that can be filled out and returned for your child's report or your child can select the following to do:

1. Diorama (shoe box )
2. Poster
3. Powerpoint presentation
4. Create a model.
5. Folder report
6. Fill out packet 
Your young "entomologist " should use the packet to find what information they need to display and know about their bug.   I have a grading sheet in the back to see how I plan to score this report.

Under no circumstances are the children to collect, bring, look for, live or dead specimens. (bugs).  I know that's half the fun, but no....lol


Due Date: March 27-28

Rock Star Reading Challenge from Mission Library

Parents,

Our Mission Academy Library has initiated a great contest to help students read more books.  It is called the RockStar Reading Program.  Students read either picture books or chapter for great prizes and school wide recognition. I have given your child the information sheets and the tally sheets that they must fill completely before earning their fantabulous prizes...

February Events and Notes 2014

Parents and Readers of this Blog:

February 14 there is going to be a lot going on!1st, our  6th Annual Mission Academy Cowboy Breakfast is going on, from 8-9 A.M.  Come by earlier and help us set up this great event!2nd our Valentine's Day Card exchange will be held at 2:45 P.M. Our classroom has 19 students + Trevor the frog. I cannot print out the names on-line but I can send home a separate list. Parents, this is not a party, so cupcakes, are too much, but if you want to bag candies, please allow for 19 students.  I do not have the time to separate and bag candies individually. So send them pre-bagged. ( I really do appreciate you parents!)

February 17, 2014                 Bad Weather Make-up Day – Free Dress for all students.

Please always keep a sweater of  light jacket in the backpack... With this crazy weather, I want to be prepared to bundle  up the kids when we get these sudden cold snaps.

Starting later this week I will be having your child take the Middle of the Year  Fountas and Pinell reading test.   Results of this test will show if your child is progressing in reading and comprehension.   I should have all the results in a couple of weeks..

As always, Parents I do appreciate you and enjoy your students, and thank you for all you do

Mr. F.Fierros
