I hope everyone had a great three day weekend!

Remember that by this point, your child should begin or schedule when they will perform their science fair experiment. Results and data need to be clearly written in their science fair notebooks by Tuesday, February 4^th.

We are making kindness a big focus for the rest of the year, as La Paloma Academy is now a part of the Ben's Bells program. We are passing out Kindness Coins to students, and they are asked to pass them on to students they find being kind to others. Make sure to ask your child if they've gotten them!

This week should go by fairly quickly! In math, we will finish up our unit on adding and subtracting mixed numbers, and also spend a bit of time learning about mean, median, mode, and range of a set of data. In reading, students will take a practice test to help predict their performance on the AIMS test in April. In writing, we will finish a narrative essay about your child's best vacation. In social studies, we will read through a Scholastic magazine and learn a little about King Tut.
