Week 20 - February 6 - 10

I hope everyone had a restful weekend!

Math - We are finishing up Unit 4 early this week. The Unit test will be on Wednesday of this week. It is important that your child is completing homework, classwork, and asking questions when he or she does not understand a new concept. Khan Academy is a great resource for students to practice what we are doing in class. They can also challenge themselves if they fully understand what we are doing. There is always opportunity to complete work on a 6th grade level covering the same concepts.

Reading - Students are now covering historical fiction in reading class. Please support your child in reading at least 30 minutes at night.

Science - We are in need of empty paper towel and toilet paper rolls. Please send these in as you acquire them. It will be much appreciated.

Winter Survival - As they say, the third time is the charm! We are still planning on going on Tuesday, February 21st. Please be sure to review your child's list before the date.

Count Day - This Wednesday, February 8 is count day. 

N.A.A.P.I.D. / Parent Involvement Day - Monday, February 13th is a day for parents to join us at school. You will have an opportunity to follow your child's schedule and enjoy time at the school.
