2009-2010 MBS Theme: "Be still and know that I am God!" Psalm 46:11
Well, we were blessed with beautiful weekend weather for Trick or Treat and LSU/Pelican football! I hope everyone had a fun and safe time. Our "Sweet Dreams" service project was an awesome success, and items may still be brought in Monday!! I am looking forward to my first 4th grade retreat next week!
God Bless,
Ms. Jones

EXTRA CREDIT:
I spoke with my students about extra credit opportunities that will be available to them in Reading and Science. For Reading: they may read one of the "leveled reader" books which have been provided as a suppliment to our new reading series; there are 15 or so to choose from per unit. After reading, they are to complete the provided feedback sheet and turn it in. They will receive up to 2 bonus points and may read one book per week. For Science: they may summarize a science-related current event (IN THEIR OWN WORDS!!) together with a graphic (photo, illustration, graph, etc. - computer or hand-generated) of the current event. They need only write one paragraph; the entire submission should only be one page. Events can be found in the newspaper, magazines, or online (see some of the links below). They will receive up to 2 bonus points and may turn in one current event per week.
