Hello and welcome to another Monday!  Please note that this is a short week, and there is no school on Friday!

Please make sure you are paying attention to tax credits!  All of that money goes directly to the classrooms!  I would like to put it towards expanding technology in my room.

I am now following the school tardy policy.  If a student is tardy two times in one week, they will receive afterschool detention.  If a student is tardy four times a week, your child will receive an in-school suspension.

In math, we are continuing our fractions unit.  We are getting involved in adding and subtracting fractions with similar denominators and relating it to 1.  In reading, we are still reading the City of Ember.  There will be homework assignments coming from this book!  In writing, we will continue reading persuasive essays.

In science, we will read a newspaper about rocks and the rock cycle.  In social studies, we will continue studying the early colonies of the United States.
