Week of Oct. 22

 

This week Chimney Lakes is celebrating Red Ribbon Week and Unity Day!! We are pledging to be Drug Free and Not Bully Others. 

Here are the different FUN things we are asking everyone to participate in:

MONDAY: Wear red! Wear as much red as possible...

TUESDAY: Tacky Tourist Day! Think about it from your head to your toes. haha

WEDNESDAY: Unity Day! Make sure to wear orange, this will let everyone know that you stand strong with others and don't bully. Also from 6:00-8:00 PTA will host a Family Night discussing Health, Safety and Awareness. Make sure to stop by and check it out!!

THURSDAY: Crazy Socks Day! 

FRIDAY: School Spirit Day! Make sure to wear a school shirt or school colors (yellow and blue).

We have a few Resources this week. Make sure to check the weekly conduct sheet to see what they are. On Tuesday at 9:00 we make our Class Visit to the Book Fair. If you plan on stopping by to shop with your child~ sign in the front office and then wait for us in front of the Media Center. On Friday Report Cards go home and it is also the last day to submit money for our Field Trip to Amazing Grace Crop Maze. Money for the Field Trip will not be accepted after Friday!!!

Now on to Academics... so once a year we focus all week on a Science Experiment and this is the week!! We thought long and hard on a Science Experiment that would keep the students interest and allow everyone to participate. We think we found it!!

Does color affect the melting of ice cubes??

We are integrating the Science Experiment into all subject areas. In Math we will be graphing our predictions, using timers to check on the ice cubes and then transferring the data into our Math Journals. 

In Writing we will be writing simple sentences about our predictions and findings. Also, please remember that Kindergarteners only spell sight words correctly. ALL other words are spelled phonetically and they only write the letters they hair.

In Saxon we are focusing on coding a vowel followed by a consonant with a breve, figuring out beginning initial sounds of words and our Sight Words~ have, make, be & up.

In Reading we will be discussing the Five Senses and learning about Scientific Experimentation. We will discuss how science projects have a Hypothesis, Procedures, Data and a Conclusion. We will also watch a Sid the Science Kid Video to see how Sid's class gets their data for their Science Experiment. 

***Make sure to check back and see pictures of the students participating in our Science Project.  Also, in the past there has been a Science Night at school to see all the Class and Student Science Projects. So be on the lookout for any information that goes home. ***
