Reminders...

This Thursday, we will be having picture re-take day.  If your child needs to have their picture redone, please just send back the picture package that came home earlier this week.  This will be your child's "ticket" to get their picture redone.  There is no need to sign up, etc.

Tomorrow is our NA spirit Day!  The High School band, cheerleaders, etc. will be touring our buildings and playing our New Albany fight songs, etc.  Please wear NA colors tomorrow :)

Friday is our Day of Pink.  Students should wear as much pink as they can, to show their support against breast cancer.  

Fall conferences will not be held until mid-November.  We have had a lot questions about conferences, since middle school is currently holding conferences.  Please remember that the middle school is on quarters and we are on trimesters...so, we have a little more time during this grading trimester!

Math

Math

We have started our next unit on Place Value.  Students have been working to identify place value through the ten thousandths place.  We have worked on writing/saying numbers in standard form, expanded form.  Students have also been working on ordering decimals from least-greatest/greatest -least.  We will finish out this week by working on exponents.  Next week we will begin working with powers of 10's.  Please make sure that your child continues to practice their basic multiplication/division facts and record these on their math logs, which are due on Monday's!

The Wetlands

The Wetlands and More...

We had a great trip out to the Wetlands, last week!  Thank you to all of our parent volunteers that made our trip possible!  While we were out at the wetlands, the students were asked to find a decomposing log.  We wanted the log to be pretty far along in it's decomposing process.  They were then asked to observe the characteristics about the log (length, stage of decomposing, organisms that live in , on, or underneath the log).  The students really enjoyed being out in the woods...I have a lot of students that really enjoyed exploring the logs, finding organisms, etc.
