Wow, we are nearly halfway through this month already!

Please make sure to go through your child’s backpack every night!  I send home a lot of important information that you may be missing!  On Wednesday, we will have an eegee’s party as a reward for good behavior in August.  Unfortunately, the class was NOT able to earn pizza to go with it.  I hope we are able to have pizza and eegee’s next month as a result of their good behavior in September!

We have a LOT of activities this week!  In math, we are learning about integers and manipulating negative numbers.  In reading, we will continue reading Maniac Magee and doing class discussions/activities with each chapter.  In writing, we will begin a writing assignment about Maniac Magee that will be done in class.  In social studies, we will examine the events of 9/11 and do a monument project in-class.  Homework assignments for the week will be Saxon problemsets 13, 14, and 15, three spelling assignments, and a reading log.  Their rough draft for the American Revolutionary Biography project is due FRIDAY.  You may email me a copy of it if they typed it on the computer.  Your child can also show me their rough draft EARLY.  As long as I have seen their rough draft by Friday, they will get full credit for that part of the assignment.
