2012-2013 Resource Schedule

The resource schedule for your childs 2012-2013 school year has been finalized. Lunch: Daily (10:50 AM 11:20 AM) Strings: Mondays and Wednesdays (8:10 AM 8:50 AM) Physical Education: Tuesdays and Fridays (8:45 AM 9:15 AM) Art: Every other Thursday (9:00 AM 9:45 AM) Library: Tuesdays (Alternating weeks: 1:05 PM 1:20 PM and 12:15 1:00 PM) Guidance: Once a month on a non-art Thursday Dont forget to have your child bring his or her sneakers for Physical Education on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Also, if your child intends to learn a strings instrument, then make sure that he or she brings her instrument to school on Mondays and Wednesday. The students, who will not take a strings instrument, will continue their musical education in general music (every Wednesday), where they will learn to play the recorder. For future reference, you can look up the Clubhouse resource schedule on the Clubhouse Website at: http://www.stevenlin83.com/clubhouse

Extra Credit (Math)

For five extra credit points (that will be tacked onto the test column on Edline), students will have to orally recite the multiplication table to me, Ms. Davis, Mrs. Antonucci, or Mrs. Belliveau. Your child only needs to recite the table from 1s through 9s. However, he or she must beat my time of 3 minutes 35 seconds for five extra credit points. If a student beats the 5 minute mark, he or she still earns three extra credit points. And with that, I say, good luck . . . MMMmmwwwaahahahahahahah!

Kidblog Undate
