October 31, 2016

Hello 5/6 Science Families!

Thursday, November 3, 2016 is our field trip!  Your child needs to bring a drink/sack lunch for this day.  Please confirm with your child's foundation teacher your chaperone status.  We will be leaving by 9:00 am.

Friday, November 4, 2016 is our Distinguished Devils lunch at Citrus Cafe.  Please check in with your child if they have the form with the cost, times, etc.

We will continue working on Force and Motion in Science.  There will be a quick 5 point quiz over vocabulary Thursday or Friday depending on if your child has their 3rd day in science on Thursday or Friday.  The date will be marked in your child's agenda.  I will post the words for the quiz on my Weebly.

It is already November...hopefully the temperature will be dropping below 98 degrees.


Happy Halloween!  Happy Autumn!

Yours in science,
Mrs. Biggs

Hello 5/6 Families,

We will be celebrating with 5/6 graders on Tuesday.  We will be watching the movie "Witches", eating popcorn, and enjoying snacks that are donated by our amazing ASU Prep families.  A BIGGS thank you for your generosity and willingness to help out.  Thank you!  If your child received 3 or more agenda lines they unfortunately are ineligible to attend our PRIDE celebration.  Please contact me or your child's foundation teacher if you have questions.

Our ILP conferences are Thursday, October 6 and Friday, October 7 unless you have a scheduled a different day/time with your child's foundation teacher.  We look forward to meeting with you!

A BIGGS thank you for all of the S'More supplies!  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!  Our Solar Ovens heated up nicely.  We will be finishing up this activity on Monday and Tuesday.  We also got the chance to measure car temperatures out in the parking lot.  Take a guess - Which color car tends to be hotter when measuring temperature from the outside?

NO SCHOOL on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.  :)

Enjoy your Fall Break the week of October 10 - October 16, 2016.  We will see you back here at school on Monday, October 17 2016.  Be safe and enjoy your time together.

Yours in Science,
Mrs. Biggs
