**Attention Parents/Guardians**
I am looking for two parent chaperons to attend our field trip on October 16th to the Science Center in Des Moines.  It will be an all day commitment.  Please contact me ASAP if interested!

Homework:

     Math:  P1-5 (evens)

     Science:  None

Next Week:

     Math:  Monday we will be reviewing for a quiz over lessons 1-1 through 1-6 and then quizzing on 
                Tuesday.  Please help your student study by looking at worksheets from the 6 lessons and the
                mini-quiz from last week.  Focus on place values from hundred millions to thousandths, comparing
                and ordering numbers, place value patterns, and solving problems (break information into two 
                categories, "What do I know?" and "What am I trying to solve?".  We will then move into adding 
                and subtracting mentally as well as rounding whole and decimal numbers!

     Science:  Monday we will be experimenting using the microslide viewers!  Your student will be looking at 
                    voluntary muscle cells, smooth muscle cells, and heart muscle cells.  Lesson 2 focuses on body                     systems including the following:  circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and excretory!  Hopefully 
                    we will be ready to quiz on this lesson by Friday!!

As usual, please contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or information that will help me better serve your child!  Have a wonderful weekend!!
