Next week we will be working on the following topics:
ELA: We will learn about cause and effect, summarizing, and using context clues. We will work on spelling long vowels o, u, and e as well as sounds for g. For writing we will introduce what good writers do, focusing on detailed middles. We will begin a new Roald Dahl book, George's Marvelous Medicine, that ties right into our science unit.
Math: We will continue spiraling through our Saxon math, focusing specifically on acting out some some went away stories, elapsed time, odd/even numbers, and ordinal position to 12th.
Science: We will begin to study science for the remainder of the quarter. Over the next few weeks we will study matter, reviewing solids, liquids, and gases this week.

Notes from the Principal:
Mint Hill Madness: September 28-29th
Mint Hill is having a festival. The Staley family is giving all of their proceeds to CIS and our new school building fund. If you would like to support our new school building and the Staley family, please purchase a raffle ticket or volunteer. You could win a new Kindle Fire, Nest Thermostat, or a new AC unit!!! Tickets range from $5.00-$15.00. If you would like to purchase some tickets, please email Kim Hoyle athoylek@ciscomets.com. Staff will be selling tickets on Monday morning in the middle of upper lot and gravel. Student council will also be selling tickets in the afternoons between 3:00-3:30. If you have time to volunteer on Friday or Saturday, please see Kim Hoyle for times. Please help us build a new school.
Gravel Lot Lottery: We are opening up the gravel lot to any family! Your family does not need to have a minimum number of students in your carpool. Tickets will start at $50.00 per ticket. We are only adding a limited number of spaces, so get your ticket today. Please stop by the office and see Cathie Elliott. All proceeds will go towards the new school building fund.
Fridays: On Fridays, the teachers have spirit day. They are allowed to wear jeans and a CIS shirt. Students are ONLY allowed to wear jeans on the first Friday of the month for casual day.
Family Friend Initiative: We are working with UNCC, Jill Morin, to help host International students. UNCC needs families who are willing to spend time with the International students on the weekends or weekdays if you have time. They do not live with you, they just spend time with your family. If you are interested, please email Trish Valentino at valntinot@ciscoemts.com. Thank you for your help.
Parking in Lower Lot: Please park as close as you can to the other cars when on campus. We need all the space we can get to park. After 3:30pm, parents are not allowed to park in the lower lot and then walk to pick up their child. Please either stay in the line or enter the gravel lot lottery. It is not fair to other families if you skip the procedures already in place. Thank you.
PTSO News:
- The library is NOW OPEN!
