Oh my!!! Where has the time gone??? I sincerely apologize for missing my weekly update. It was an extremely busy week with two days of MAP testing and Friday was tied up with the swim test, but that's still no excuse I will try to do better.

Fort Flagler is in high gear now. Hopefully you attended the parent meeting last Thursday night and received the student booklet which contains both of the forms your student needs to attend camp. If you were unable to attend, your child received the booklet on Friday. PLEASE FILL OUT THOSE FORMS AND SEND THEM BACK TO THE OFFICE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. STUDENTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND WITHOUT THE TWO FORMS.

Here are some other "odds & ends" about camp you need to know about Fort Flagler:

• Your student needs to be all packed up (Label everything, please!) and ready to go Monday (October 5th) morning.
• Students need to bring a sack lunch on that day.
• Students need to bring one or two packages of cookies by Monday, too. (These may be turned in earlier, if you wish.)
• Please have someone here to pick your student up when we return on Thursday, October 8th. He/she will be extremely tired, and with all of that gear from camp, it will be very taxing on your child.
• Remember that there is no school on Friday, October 9th. That will be a great day for your student to rest up from camp.

In Reading this week we continue to work on AR books/tests and filling out agendas, so there is no homework. I hope to start making entries in the Lit Logs when we return from camp.

In Language Arts we are reviewing for the Capitalization & Punctuation Test. It will be on Friday (October 2nd). PLEASE HELP YOUR CHILD STUDY FOR IT.

In Science we are working on the Mixtures Lab. There will be only classwork in the form of making entries in the Science Notebooks, so no homework this week.

In Keyboarding (Exploratory) we have been going over the "Word" word processing program, so again, no homework.

My 7th graders in Challenge Math have been reviewing Chapter 3 concepts on fractions (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), and there will be a quiz on Thursday with the test on Friday. PLEASE HELP YOUR STUDENT STUDY FOR THIS.

Finally, I am not sure I will be able to make a post from up at camp, so I may actually have a good excuse for not blogging next week. Wish us good weather and a great experience up at Fort Flagler! (I know I will see many of you up there, too!)

Have a great week!
Mrs. Humble
