Weekly News

Important!!!
Students went home without weekly work! I will copy the word problems below and reading logs can be started on lined paper.  My apologies!
  • Please purchase (or check out of the library), the novel Caddie Woodlawn .  We have delayed the start of our novel because not all students yet have the book.
  • Please check your son/daughter's school supplies.  I have many students in need of notebook updates as well as pens and pencils.
  • Weekly work (Reading Logs and Math word problems) are sent home on Fridays.  Students may begin their work on the weekend and have more time during the week.  
  • For those students struggling with the Math word problems, if they begin on the weekend, they may come to me during the week for help on problems they do not understand (before it is due on Friday).

Upcoming Tests and Projects:
Vocabulary Test - Unit 5, Tuesday 1/25 - changed from 1/21 to 1/25
Social Studies Test - Ch. 6, Friday 1/21 Changed to 1/25
Simple Solutions Quiz - Lessons 29-34, Friday 1/28
Project:
Design a travel brochure for a state.  More information coming home this next week!


Have a safe and fun weekend!
