Field Trip

They may bring quiet bus activities such as books or notebooks & pencils. In keeping with our school technology policy, students may not bring any technological devices, watches, phones, cameras, Kindles, etc. If you have questions about this policy, please contact Mme Courtney or Shelli. We have posted technology guidelines from our school handbook at the bottom of this post.

Students from the Yearbook Club are proud to present the 2018-2019 Yearbook. We are selling it for $10.00 or $5.00 for families on the Free and Reduced lunch plan. Please fill out the form so that we can correctly deliver the yearbooks to your children on Yearbook Day. Also, please consider donating the cost of a yearbook to a child who cannot afford one. Look for the order form coming home this week. Please turn in orders to the Fox Box located outside of Mme Bernadette’s office.

Mme Jana’s News  (kincaid_j@4j.lane.edu) 

FLA (French Language Arts):  One of the classes got to correct their dictées, which will come home on Monday, and the other class will go over the corrections and their dictées should be home on Monday or Tuesday. Most of our French time is spent on the Francophone country project.

Les sciences humaines:  (Social studies): Francophone country projects are coming right along. Students are at all different places, and I plan to give time every day (except Wednesday:-) this week to work on this consuming project.

Mme Shelli (hopper_s@4j.lane.edu)                                             Kacie, our student teacher, continues teaching this week.  She is designing a reading unit from our Journeys curriculum.  Students began reading some non-fiction texts about the redwood forest and forest ecosystems. On Friday, students modeled and compared the diameter of huge trees such as the Douglas Fir, Sequoia, and Redwood trees. Kacie will tie this into some art and poetry this week.

In writing, students revised and finalized persuasive essays last week. They worked to write a five paragraph essay with a clear opinion, 2-3 reasons, and a conclusion.  Look for these to come home Monday or Tuesday.

Math: Friday, students brought home their last test, multiplying fractions.  Please ask your child for these. This week, students will be doing some more work around angles and geometry.

 

 

 

 

 

Charlemagne TECHNOLOGY GUIDELINES

Recently in the upper grades we’ve seen some improper use of technology and a cell phone theft. Please check out this updated handbook information below.

While we recognize the ubiquitous nature of technology in students’ lives and use it as a teaching tool, we respectfully require students to leave their personal technology at home to create a more calm and focused learning environment.  

Video games, laser pens, iPods, tablets, e-readers, and other items are not allowed at school as they create unnecessary distractions.  Electronic devices such as cell phones or smart watches must remain off and away in backpacks during the school day, from drop-off to pick-up.  Administrators may temporarily confiscate an electronic device that is used inappropriately.

Electronic devices are also not allowed on school trips, including the 5th grade trip to Canoe Island or any regularly scheduled field trips.  Supervising adults have full access to their electronic devices in case of emergency.

If students have difficulty following these guidelines, we follow our regular school procedures for consequences, seeking always to educate students about proper technology use.
