January 28th

Homework packets and spelling homework are due Friday. Don't forget those literature projects as well!

In reading we are still working on Watson's Go To Birmingham-1963. Tomorrow we will answer comprehension questions on the first 5 chapters.

Our field trip to US Bank Arena to see the Cincinnati Cyclones is coming up on February 6. If you have not already sent in your child's permission slip and fee ($10.00), please do so before next Friday, February 2. It is a fun and EDUCATIONAL opportunity.

Congratulations to Robby and Ciera who made their A.R. goals this 6 weeks!

No spelling this week

We are canceling spelling this week. We realized after the Friday Folders were typed that we had already studied this list.

Homework packets are due Friday. Students should also be working on their biography literature projects that are due next week.

Please return the Cyclones permission slips. The cost per person is $10. It is a great field trip!

Report cards came home today

Students brought home report cards today. Please be sure to review them and sign and return the envelope. Students are also bringing home a permission slip for the Cyclones field trip. Chaperones are welcome!!

In reading we will be working from one of my favorite novels, Watsons Go To Birmingham, 1963. This is a great story that I think the students will love!

Friday Folder reports will come home today with next week's homework packet.

I thought I would include this picture of the little newborn polar bear in Germany. How fun does this job look?!?

How about this week?!?!

We have had quite the interesting schedule this week! Looks like more snow and cold weather ahead.

We have really started working on preparing for the state tests. Letters will be coming home to some students who are eligible to receive before school tutoring as additional test prep.

Homework packets are due Friday. There will be a reading test on Eye of the Storm for my reading group tomorrow.

We finished our practice tests on Friday. We know what things we need to be working on. Look for lots of writing activities over the next few weeks.

Way to go girls!!!

I was very proud of my spelling bee girls today! They handled the pressure very well!

Make sure you are well rested and ready for the practice OAT writing test tomorrow. This will be our last practice test. Graded tests will be coming home in Friday Folders. Look for information about before school tutoring to come home to students who could use a little extra prep time.

Don't forget homework and spelling packets are due tomorrow. There will be a spelling test and an AR test on Adelina's Whales.

Remember, early release on Wednesday.
