Just four weeks left of first quarter!

I was INCREDIBLY impressed with how quickly you and your child got their progress reports signed.  Any student who showed me their signed progress report got five points of extra credit in their lowest subject.  Remember that you can check their grades online on engrade.com.

Make sure your child brings home all of the flyers I pass out on Mondays!  I keep finding them in the recycle bin!

On Friday, I passed out an at-home research project on an early American explorer.  Two pages of research notes are due THIS Friday!  I encourage students to work on this throughout the week and MAYBE even get ahead!

In math, we will take an in-depth look at multiplication.  There will be a test next week on Topic 3!  In reading, we will read chapters 27-32 and work on characters.  In writing, we will take a test on unit 1, and then will practice writing a narrative paragraph.  In social studies, students will begin reading about early American explorers and practice the note-taking skills we worked on last week.
