Dear Parents,

Immediately due this Wednesday for our group experience class project is a short list of materials needed. We'll build 6 rockets, one for each group. As such, we'll assign something for each member of the group to bring to class which we'll do tomorrow.

We'll need the following for each group of students;

  • One empty 1 liter soda bottle 
  • One roll of duck tape
  • On piece of cardboard no smaller than A3 size
  • One fist sized lump of clay or Play-Doh
  • One standing bike pump as show in the web link
  • One ball pin for a pump


Please consult the following link for precise details



For your future reference here's the link for Fry's 1000 sight words;

At this moment, our kids should be able to master the use and understanding of the first 300 words.

Good luck,
Arthur

Friday, September 8, 2017

Dear Parents,

As of  Friday, September the 8th we have activated all online Pearson student accounts for class 303. Each student was given a user name and password to begin their online work. We also spent two periods today giving them a brief introduction to the updated site so they can navigate it on their own once they are home. This online component to their Reading Street curriculum is a home supplement to their school work. Five days of assignments will be given on a bi-weekly basis for each unit.

At this moment, your child should have with them a small cardboard booklet issued by Pearsonrealize.com. Inside the booklet, you may find your child’s username which is 106303____ followed by a number from 01 to 30. The password is xinmin-s1 all lowercase across the board.


I hope the instructions are clear and easy to understand, please feel free to contact me at my email or just leave a comment on this blog if there are any questions regarding this site or anything else that might be on your mind.

Thanks for your attention,

Arthur Tsay
303 Foreign English Teacher

Let's get started!
