Mrs. Stevens' You Tube Channel

To help you prepare for International Day, I'd like you to click on my You Tube Channel (on the side panel under "Our Sites") and watch the videos. They will help you have a clearer picture of your roles and the roles of other people in the government.

Math Test Unit 2 on Friday

You will need to know:
  • Place value of numbers (ones, tens, hundreds, etc.)
  • Addition and subtraction of whole numbers and decimals
  • Convert between US customary units of length (inches, feet, yards)
  • Identify multiplication errors
  • Explain usefulness of making an estimate
  • Make magnitude estimate (Is the answer going to be in the hundredths, tenths, ones, tens, etc.)
  • Describe numerical probabilities using words or phrases (like certain, unlikely, etc.)
  • Write numbers in expanded notation (433 = 400 + 30 + 3)
  • Find landmarks for a data set (mean, median, mode, minimum, maximum, range)
  • Write and solve number sentences

Dear parents,

One of the famous freedoms that we have been talking about from the Bill of Rights is the Freedom of Religion that is guaranteed under the United States Constitution. I've asked the students to research their religion and make a poster about their religion. I've brought books in, but I want them to speak with you as well. Students should answer these questions:

1. Where does your religion believe that people came from? (Ex. God created them, we evolved from monkeys)
2. What does your religion believe happens to you when people die? (Ex. Goes to heaven or hell, reincarnation, etc.)
3. What does your religion teach about how we should live our lives?
4. What are some special celebrations of your religion?
5. Who do we follow? (Ex. Buddha, Jesus)
6. What are some general beliefs of your religion?

We are doing this to promote acceptance and understanding of each other under the Bill of Rights. If you do not follow a formal religion, you may adapt these questions to your family beliefs. Instead of having the title of "Buddhism" or "Catholicism" you can simply have the title of "Our Beliefs."

Either way, these are important questions to thoughtfully discuss with your children. This is due on October 6th.

친애하는 부모,

우리가 권리 장전에서 말하는 것으로 유명한 자유 중 하나는 미국 헌법에 따라 보장 종교 자유입니다. 나는 그들의 종교를 연구하고 그들의 종교에 대한 포스터를 만들기 위해 학생을 요청했습니다. 가져했지만, 난 그들이뿐만 아니라당신과 얘기하고 싶습니다. 학생들은 이러한 질문에 대답해야합니다 :

1. 어디 종교는 사람들이 있다고 생각합니까? (예 하나님이 그들을 만든, 우리가 원숭이에서 진화)
2. 사람이 죽으면 무엇 종교가 무엇을 믿는하면 어떻게됩니까? (예 : 하늘이나지옥, 환생 이동합니다)
3. 당신의 종교는 우리가 우리의 삶을 살아야한다고하는 방법에 대한 무엇을 가르치는가?
4. 당신의 종교의 특별한 행사는 무엇입니까?
5. 우리는 누구를 따라합니까? (예 석가, 예수)
6. 당신의 종교의 몇 가지 일반적인 신념은 무엇입니까?

우리는 권리 장전에 따라 서로의 수용 이해를 증진하기 위해 이것을하고 있습니다. 당신이 공식 종교를 수행하지 않으면, 당신은 당신의 가족의 믿음 이러한 질문을 적응 수 있습니다. 대신 "불교"또는 "천주교"의 제목을 갖는 당신은 단순히 제목을 가질 수 있습니다 "우리의 믿음을."

어쨌든, 이들이 신중 아이와 함께 의논하는 것이 중요 질문입니다. 왔구나 6 일예정이다.

간청하다
Queridos padres,

Una de las famosas libertades que hemos estado hablando acerca de la Declaración de Derechos es la libertad de religión que está garantizada por laConstitución de los Estados Unidos. Le he pedido a los estudiantes a la investigación de su religión y hacer un cartel sobre su religión. He traído libros,pero quiero hablar con usted. Los estudiantes deben responder a estas preguntas:

1. ¿De dónde viene su religión creen que la gente vino? (Ex. Dios los creó,hemos evolucionado de los monos)
2. ¿Qué hace su religión creen que te pasa cuando la gente muere? (Ex. va, el cielo o el infierno la reencarnación, etc)
3. ¿Qué hace su religión enseña acerca de cómo debemos vivir nuestras vidas?
4. ¿Cuáles son algunas celebraciones especiales de su religión?
5. ¿A quién seguimos? (Ex. Buda, Jesús)
6. ¿Cuáles son algunas de las creencias generales de su religión?

Estamos haciendo esto para promover la aceptación y la comprensión de sí en virtud de la Declaración de Derechos. Si usted no sigue una religión formal, quepuede adaptarse a estas preguntas a las creencias de su familia. En lugar de tener el título de "Budismo" o "catolicismo" sólo tiene que tener el título de"nuestras creencias."

De cualquier manera, estas son preguntas importantes para discutircuidadosamente con sus hijos. Esto es debido el 6 de octubre.

Please send your design in an email to concursos@rescateanimal.net with your name and age to pre-qualify. Once you qualify, we will notify you by email. You will have to take your photograph to Expo Pet before 11 AM.

We will print the design on t-shirts. All profits will go towards the rescued animals. IMPORTANT: The winning design will be the property of Rescate Animal.

5.THE CRAZIEST COLLAR:Let the creativity flow through your veins so a masterpiece arises! Age: 10-17 Methodology – create a dog or cat collar with any materials, not harmful or uncomfortable to the animal. Wear it the day of the event before 11 AM.

Rescate Animal


We will be starting a class competition for Rescate Animal for badly needed supplies to help them do their good work of rescuing animals in danger, abandoned, neglected, and abused around Guayaquil.

Here is how we will proceed:

We will start collections from classrooms on the afternoon of September 12 (after the pet show) until September 22. We will announce the winning class at the Pet Expo on Sat. September 24 and again in the school newsflash. You may begin bringing in donations at your convenience.

The winning class will receive a special day with their name on it. This will include apizza party and a free dress day.

Attached is a flyer listing the items assigned to each class and the point value of each item. The class with the highest points(divided by the number of students in each class-to make it fair for the classes with fewest students to compete) at the end of the competition wins.

Rescate Animal has provided a listing of places where the prices are best value of most of the medical supplies. The classes maybring in the item itself or the monetary value of the item and NHS will purchase the items at the end of the competition. This will make it easier for students to donate as they wish and will be safer for the younger children whose parents may not wish their children to handle medical supplies. I have put some prices where I know them.

There is a file attached for each level including 1 for primary, 1 for intermediate/upper elementary, 1 for middle school, and 1 for high school. Notice at the end of the list there is a section of general donations which is the same for all groups.

For any questions, contact me.

Thank you, and good luck all.

Lisa Evans
