NO SCHOOL for STUDENTS

New 1-subject notebook due January 31st

Hello Parents!

I just wanted to let all of you know that I sent home the February calendar yesterday.  The calendar has important upcoming events and test dates.  Please remind your child to study Science and Social Studies notes from journals.  In Social Studies students will be tested on Famous Americans and Native American Indians.  In Science students will be tested on the Scientific Process, Weather and Seasonal changes in plants and animals. 

Test Dates

Science – 2/1

Social Studies – 2/2

We are now moving into the 3rd nine weeks and students need new journals (5), pencils (1 pack), scissors (1), and glue sticks (2).  Some students have a few pages left in their journal and they may not need a new journal right away, please check with your child to see if they have all their supplies.  Students will only need to study spelling words for next week because they did spell homework for this week last week.  Have a great weekend!

Remember- no school on Monday!!!!!!!!!!  See you all on Tuesday

School will be closed on Monday, January 30th for students.

The new nine weeks begins Tuesday,  Jan. 31st.  You will need your new interactive notebook  on Tuesday. We will be graphing inequalities in your interactive notebook on page 1 and your homework will be on page 2.

We are starting to write words phonetically, please encourage your child to sound out their words instead of you writing it for them. I also need everyone to work on their child’s personal information. Your child has to know their phone number, address, parent/s name/s, birthday, age and their full name (no nicknames). I have tested all students for this nine weeks, but will retest the students again at progress report time and again at the end of the 3rd nine weeks. In the next week or so I will be emailing everyone a 3rd nine weeks study guide. If you do not get it please contact me and let me know.
