Weekly Update

Just a reminder about a few upcoming events...

Tuesday, November 1 - Friday, November 11: CSPN Cookie Dough Fundraiser
Thursday, November 3: Fall Fest 6:00pm
Tuesday, November 8: Chick-Fil-A Night
Thursday, November 17: Domino's Dough Night
Wednesday, November 23 - Friday, November 25: Thanksgiving Holiday (No School)


Think Show and Family Math Night on November 10th have been cancelled.


In addition to EPGY Math and LAW, Reading Plus will need to be completed by Thursday morning. Please note that lessons completed on Fridays or Saturdays WILL NOT COUNT toward Homefun. However, students who wish to get extra reading comprehension practice may complete sessions any time they want. To access the program, follow these instructions:

Go to www.readingplus.com/users.
Click on Student Login.
The site code is campusschool.
Click on Shadow and find your name.
Your password is your EPGY number.
Make sure to complete the ENTIRE lesson.

I highly encourage all parents to have their children complete more than the minimum one lesson per week. This is an amazing test prep and reading comprehension program, and is the next best thing to having a free tutor in your home 24 hours a day! (If you do not have home access to the Internet, please send a note to class by Tuesday).


Miss Sherry taught a philosophy lesson last week based upon the book, The Giving Tree






Last week we investigated samples of soil.

Weekly Update

I hope that everyone is enjoying their Fall Break. I have included a few pictures of our family gathering. A big thank you goes out to Mrs. Barker and your children for making a Campus Carol such a huge success.

We are fortunate this year to have a new online reading program available to all 4-5th graders. The program is called Reading Plus. It will test your child's reading and vocabulary level and then create an intervention program to meet their needs. This program may be used at home any time. To access it, go to www.readingplus.com/users Click on Student Login. The site code is campusschool. You will only need to enter this code once on any computer you choose to use. Your child's password is his/her EPGY number. The program is user friendly and will become part of our weekly homefun.
