Hello Super Science Families!

Thank you to everyone who was able to make it to our curriculum night.  The presentation is also posted on my Weebly.  rbiggsasuprep.weebly.com  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send me an email, a note with your child, or leave a message at the front desk.  I will do my best to get back with you in 24 hours.

More news regarding the garden will be coming SOON!  I will send home information with your students, and I will also post the information here on my blog.

GREEN Team RECYCLING will also be starting.  Students will need to apply to participate.  The GREEN Team helps out with RECYCLING on campus after school, will help with educating students/faculty about RECYCLING here at ASU Prep, and they will also help with school wide RECYCLING projects.  I LOVE RECYCLING!

We will be wrapping up our Scientific Method notes, practice and review, a few experiments, and end with a quiz.  The dates are on my Weebly for each core class.  The core classes are color coded so that you can find your child's class quickly.  I do make adjustments to the online Planbook if we are moving faster or slower.  I will be posting the review on my online Planbook.  You will see a small icon in the box.  You click on the icon to bring up the copy.  Your child will receive a paper copy as well.

Thank you for your patience in driveline!

5th and 6th graders will be able to eat at the outdoor picnic tables on Tuesday's and Thursday's.  Please encourage your child to bring a water bottle to school to help them stay hydrated.  Surely this heat is going to eventually subside.

Please take a moment to go through your child's backpack.  It should not be heavy.  Help them recycle old papers and take a look at any supplies that they haven't turned in.  We would like every 5th/6th grader to bring a book to school each day.  They are welcome to borrow a book from any of the teachers.  Every book needs to be signed out.

Every child needs a one inch binder to leave in their foundation classroom.

Your children will be bringing home their IXL and Power School Log Ins.  Also, there will be flyers regarding chess and orchestra coming home.

Your children are having great conversations about science, catching on to the classroom procedures, and extending kindness to each other.  We have had some challenging Brain Breaks....hang in there!

We live on an amazing planet.  I love that we have the opportunity to learn more about SCIENCE not only at school but in our everyday world.  Thank you for supporting your child's education.

Have a great week!

yours in science,

Mrs. Biggs
