Morning Announcements 2/28/11

Good Morning Emerson Eagles! Dream, Believe, Achieve!

Today is Monday, February 28, 2011

The Pancake Breakfast was fantastic!  Thanks to everyone who helped make it such a success!  Together we raised about $6800 for science camp!

Skill Blitz:
As you remember. we are 4 weeks into our skill blitz, and this week the strategy that we'll focus on is making/detecting inferences.  When you are reading there are often somewhat myterious things that the author decides to not just tell you directly.  You have to use the clues, the details and facts from the text along with what you already know to make an inference.  The author may not directly tell you everything because they want you to have fun piecing together what they want you to know.  Sometimes you have to "read between the lines" and eventhough the information is not written directly in the words, an author can craft the words so that you piece it all together yourself.  This makes reading fun!  This week, look for inferences that the author is making to better understand the text.

Lunch and Attendance:
For lunch, you have two choices, the Farm Fresh Salad Bar, or the hot lunch. Please take a look at the sample salad that is displayed at the front of the salad bar...doesn't it look yummy? Today the hot lunch is:
Cheeseburger on a bun
BBQ Beans
Fruit Juice
If you would like to have a hot lunch, please raise your hand.
Teachers, please take a count and make a note on your online attendance form.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance!
High Expectations:
There's no choice, achieving your personal best is required every day at Emerson!
