¡nacimiento!

Sra. Aparicio´s eggs has just hatched! Hopefully our trout eggs will hatch very soon.

Eggs

Trout eggs are here!

There are 365 trout eggs, three of them are dead (they are white instead of orange). We will remove the dead eggs daily and keep a record.

The pH changed 0.6 from Thursday to Friday! From 7.2 to 6.6. In the evening, I added a teaspoon of baking soda.

If it´s below 7 we add baking soda and if it´s over 8, distilled white vinegar.

Technology Fundraiser

• Today your child will be bringing home a fundraising packet with Enjoy the City Coupon Books inside.   All proceeds from this fundraiser will go toward purchasing technology for our classrooms. Coincidently, there is an article in the Lexington Herald Leader today that  shows opportunities for teachers and students who have SMART Boards in their classrooms.  Follow this link to view the story  http://www.kentucky.com/latest_news/story/1013003.html

All orders and money from the book are due on Tuesday, December 1st. All checks need to be made payable to Maxwell Elementary.

Check with friends, relatives, neighbors and work assciates to take orders.  If you sell 5 or more books, keep your sample book for your incentive.

There is only a SMART board at school that we use as much as we can in the classroom. It´s very useful!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you you choose not to participate please have your child return their booklet to school  as soon as possible.  We are responsible for any unsold books that were sent home in the packet.

 

• No TILES on Friday November 20th.

News, October 7th

I´m not a big fan of web translators. They don´t work very well with complete sentences. If you need to translate any word from Spa to Eng or Eng to Spa, you can use BabelFish. There is also a link in the right sidebar.

I´ve just upload a “Minuto loco” worksheet to work at home with addition math facts. We will also work with subtraction when we master the addition. You can download it from the “Box”.

Third Grade teachers will be collecting money for “Time for kids” until next Friday, October 9th. You can still send $2.35 if you haven´t done it.

We hope to get the trout eggs from Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources the first week of November for our project “Trouts in the classroom”. I´ll keep you updated.

We have sent home a note explaining how Taste of Maxwell (October 23rd) is going to be this year and how you can collaborate. If you haven´t got it, you can contact me or our Homeroom Parents Volunteers. (You can also download it from the “box”. It´s called “tom 2009“)

We want to have as many PTA members as possible! Please visit Maxwell PTA website to become a member. The 2009/10 merchandising is ready!

¡Muchas gracias!
