Dear Parents and Students,
The first email progress reports were sent out today. If you wanted one and did not receive it, please email sdostroph@mcsdga.net with the email address that you would like to receive the email progress reports. Like most computer things the emails are subject to computer bugs. If you gave an email address and did not get a progress report, it might have been seen as spam by your computer. It could also be that a box was not clicked on our program or it could be that a letter or something was not entered correctly. If the email address is sent to sdostroph@mcsdga.net, all the office has to do is copy and paste it into the system.
The PTA Open House is on the 28th. However, we do not discuss individual student grades on that night. If you would like individual grades information on your child, please give me a note with your name, your child's name the teacher or teachers you from which you need information and the method you would like to be contacted. I will follow up the next day. Please note that we have 107 students on the team as of today. Therefore, there might be some delay in response
The following lesson plan is for the week of 8-25-08. Please note that all of the lesson plans this year are subject to change.
**** The next test is planned for Tuesday.
Scientists all over the world use the name measuring system. We call it the SI system or the International System of Weights and Measures. Most of these units are metric. Did you know that America's currency is based on the metric system?
Monday: Our focus is on making linear measurements using metric units. The SI unit is the Kilometer.
**** Monday Notes: Study for the Chapter 1 Test tomorrow. Students who did not complete both sides of the sheet "What are your body lengths and proportions?" need to complete it at home. There were several children who checked out today. It seemed like they were sharing a bug.
Tuesday: Our focus is on the Chapter 1 test and then continuing our work with making and writing linear measurements with metric units.
**** Tuesdays Notes: There were several children that said they only studied the day before the test. Students need to study the notes each night. The test taken today will show up on Friday's email progress report.
TONIGHT students are to take the metric measurements of a person at home. We are practicing metric measurements. There are several children who are turning in homework and daily work without a name. Others are not completing assignments started in class. This is causing the homework/daily average to go down. Please help me to encourage them to keep a folder that is dedicated to homework. They can write everyone's homework in it. Any work that is completed as homework can go in it. If they place the completed work back in the folder and take it to each class, they should have any homework asked for in class.
We fell behind today. We will continue our work with linear measurements tomorrow.
Wednesday: Our focus is on measuring the mass of given objects using a triple beam balance. The SI unit is the Kilogram
****Wednesday Notes: Students are to complete the worksheet that has P66 in the right hand corner. We are on still on linear measurement. Tomorrow we want to get into mass metric measurements. The test was given back today. There will not be any school on Monday due to Labor Day. Therefore, the test is moved to Wednesday. Students need to study their notes from the overhead each night. They can also use the practice worksheets to help them.
Parents: There was an offer to update some of the school notes pages. To get to Mrs. Bausch's notes page do the following: go in as usual, click on students, enter Bausch, Judy, 31909.
Thursday: Our focus is on completeing our work on length and turning our focus to measuring mass. The SI unit is the Kilogram for mass.
Friday: Our focus is measuring liquid capacity.
