These are the voyages of the star treader Progress, its ten month mission: to explore strange new concepts; to seek out new relationships with God and each other; to boldly go where no class has gone before!
8-27-10 It was so good to see so many of you parents and students during the last few days! I am super excited about this school year. Remember to bring all your supplies with you the first day of school, and get lots of sleep the night before.
8-23-10 I look forward to meeting the new crew the next two days!
Ship Specs Click here to see and save an advanced copy of the class handbook. We will be going over it during the Parent Information night.
8-19-10 Meet the Teacher All students in fourth and fifth grade can come meet Miss Schwartzkopf next Tuesday the 24th (9am-12pm) or Wednesday the 25th (1pm-4-pm). Just drop on by while I'm getting the ship ready. I'm so excited that you are all going to be in our class this new school year! See you then!
Parent Information Night Parents, come out on Thursday night (8-26). There are two sessions parents may attend; this really helps out when you have students in more than one class. Please attend either the 5:30-6:15 or the 6:15-7:00 session to get great information pertaining to our class. Children are not to attend this night.
8-13-10 The computers are in! We have two brand new computers this year we will have numerous uses for. While we have a fabulous computer lab, our personal computers will allow students to explore space, practice their math facts, experience Bible stories, create presentations, practice typing, and much more!
New Duty Assignments This year the crew will have a chance to interview for different jobs in class that will utilize their particular talents and abilities, and demonstrate responsibility. The jobs will last for three weeks at a time, at the end of which the students may seek a new position. Stay tuned!
Website Changes Cabin work (homework) will no longer be posted on the internet. The crew is expected to copy their assignments in their assignment books daily and have you initial the books once the work is done, just like in third grade. You can always email me if you have questions or concerns! I am working on the spelling lists, as the lists have changed in the last couple of years. I will update this blog once they are posted.
8-7-10 Red Vines Art Contest! Check out their website! Entries are due by end of September. Check it out here!
8-5-10 We're getting in a couple of computers, the decor is being updated for the upcoming crew, and much more!
