Test Chapter 10 May 7

Hi Everyone!
I just wanted people to know I would not be at school on Wednesday. I have a sub(mrs. Boers) and great lesson plans. The students should have time to do the Review on p 247-248 in class.
I am moving the Test on Chapter 8 from Friday(4/16/2009) to Tuesday(4/21/2009). This will give me a little more time to review. We will be moving on to the next part of Rome.
I will post the new update for this chapter and the next, on Friday.
Report cards for the third nines weeks go home today.
April 22 will be the first progress report on the fourth nine weeks. The usual Friday print out will be coming home this week. The students only have one week to make up any missed work. They have had three nine weeks to understand how homework is done and when it is due. The fourth nine weeks is to prepare them for seventh grade.

chaperones for World of Nations

HI Everyone!
The response to World of Nations has been great. Students have been great about turning in their money and field trip slips.
I do have a problem. I have 78 students signed up to go and only two chaperons. I must have at least one chaperon per ten children according to the county. The city prefers 1 to 5 for World of Nations. I need at least ten chaperons. I realize there is a cost of $10.00 for chaperons also. This covers admission,lunch and ticket. You are more than welcome to meet us at Metro Park gate. I will have to cancel the Field trip if I can't get enough chaperons.
Thank you for your help!
