We are halfway through the first quarter already!  Wow!

Please make sure that you speak with your student about calling out during class, as well as side conversations.  This is the biggest behavior issue in this class and I would love to have parents on board to work with me to make our room the best learning environment possible!

If there are any parents interested in volunteering in my classroom one or two days a week for grading, pulling students to work one-on-one, or are interested in helping with anything else, please let me know!  I would love for more parents to come in and see how their child's classroom works!

In math, we will continue to review factors, multiples, LCM, and GCF.  Our quiz scores weren't as high as I had hoped, so we will do some more practice before moving on.  We will continue to read Maniac Magee.  We are over halfway through the book!  In science, we will learn about the nervous system.  In social studies, your child will be introduced to the biography project/paper.

 We will apply what we learned about paragraphs last week in writing to our other subjects.

Spelling words are the same as last week's words.  Only FOUR students passed their spelling test, so we are going to redo the words.  ALL STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO KNOW ALL 20 WORDS!
