Just three
and a half weeks left until the end of the year!
Progress
reports go home today. Please sign and
return (don't worry; I'll give them back!) before Friday!
I would like
to remind parents again that I will give plenty opportunity for students to
raise their grades in science and writing, which are subjects a large number of
students are failing at the moment.
I have
noticed an increase in student talking during class. I will be cracking down on behavior. Please make sure you talk to your child about
my expectations in class!
This week in
math will be review of unit conversions and probability. In reading, we will read chapters 7-10 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. There will be several at-home reading
assignments this week! In writing,
students will write a news article about an event they read in Harry Potter. In science, I will introduce a final project
on the planets to be completed at home.
In social
studies, we will work on matching the capitals to its correct state.
