Important Reminders: There is a math test on Chapter 10 on Monday!! We are starting fresh with a new trimester. Please remember these important reminders on homework and tests: Summaries are paragraphs that include important things from their story. They must not include opinions, such as I love this book. Students take a vocabulary quiz once a week. There are 20 words and they must know their definitions. I recommend that the students take home their vocabulary notebooks nightly to study for their quiz. Notebooks must come back to school the next day. Progress reports come home on Monday.
Mission Report packets and books were sent home September 30th. Students have one month to complete their paper and project. It is all due October 31st. Please remember that plagiarism is not allowed. All students who are plagiarizing will be subject to a failing grade on their assignment.

Mission Reports/Projects are due on Halloween, October 31st. Please make sure your child gets started on this project as it will take multiple days to complete it. These projects will be part of their grade for Social Studies in the 2nd trimester. If you are planning to purchase a mission kit, I hear they are slim pickings. You can try JoAnn's or Michael's in Modesto or Tracy for them. You may want to look at purchasing online. I found a website: https://owa.musd.net/owa/redir.aspx?C=2c95c0ed4af849009b95441b32980749&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.missionsofca.com%2f but they do not include any decor like trees or people. Please allow time for shipping so that your project will be turned in on time. Remember that plagiarism is not allowed. Any report that includes plagiarism will receive a failing grade.
