I hope everyone had a great three day weekend!  Mine was filled with races!

A few quick notes about dress code – we have not changed dress code, but rather focused on several key pieces of information.  If they are not in dress code during our dress code checks, they will not be allowed to do Friday dress.

Remember that if you want to see your child's grades, you can easily log into engrade.com and look at their scores for each subject.  I will no longer be emailing parents regarding missing assignments.  If your child failed to get you their login information, let me know and I will send them home with it.

In math, we will start our geometry unit, beginning with triangles.  In reading, we will continue our work in identifying important ideas from a reading passage.  In writing, students will edit and write out the final copies of their personal narratives.   In social studies, we will continue studying the fifty states – there will be a test on Friday, February 1^st on the location of all of the states!  Study, study, study!

A very useful website to study the fifty states is www.ilike2learn.com.  It is extremely helpful – and how I memorized European countries and capitals in high school!
