Today we had a wonderful assembly about Shrinking Bigfoot - not the mythical creature but our carbon footprint on the earth left by our fossil fuel and daily electricity usage and the impact that has on our environment. This week we will be taking a closer look at the impact we have on our environments and learning more about how we can shrink our bigfoot! :) Ask your student ways that he/she can shrink their bigfoot around the house. If your student can answer that question, write bigfoot in their planner for Monday for bonus points!
Speaking of planners, I have been getting a lot of emails about students "not knowing" about homework so I just wanted to make it clear that we dedicate time daily to filling out our planners so that should never be the case unless your student wasn't following the expectations and directions in class. I do check the planners daily to make sure that they are filling them out but some do slip through the cracks so it's a great idea to check your student's planner at home as well to make sure that homework is done. Several students have a really hard time actually completing any homework so that follow through is great from you at home.
This Thursday book orders are due, and if you are ordering books as gifts please let me know so I can get them home discreetly before the holidays.
Thursday is also the day our permission slips are due for our next field trip on December 11th (yes it is already next Tuesday!) so please get those in ASAP. Several students already lost theirs (sheesh!) so I will get those replacements tomorrow. We need at least 6 chaperones (and I have 1 already) so if you can make it with us, we would love to have you! If we don't get at least 6 chaperones we cannot go to Carkeek park so please help us go by coming with us! :)
