Wednesday

What a nice sunny afternoon! Progress reports went home today. This is the first report of the 3rd quarter, therefore there are not many grades recorded yet. 5th graders have started Chapter 6 in math on Geometry. Ask them to show you their "Geometry Aerobics"! 6th graders go sledding tomorrow morning. Remember to dress warm and to bring a change of dry clothes, just in case.

Friday afternoon is our Reading Marathon. Students can wear sweats to school and bring pillows.

Tomorrow is a half day. Students will be dismissed at 12:00. Have a wonderful evening!

Monday

We had a busy Monday with lots of new and exciting things going on. The Masterpiece fundraising information went home today. Students can sell from Jan. 25 - Feb. 10. I showed all of the students a spelling website to use for practicing their Spelling words. It is at www.eduplace.com/kids/. This site has various games and activities to practice their words. Check it out!

6th graders are going sledding this Thursday morning. They have their permission slips with all of the important information.

Friday we will be having our 2nd Annual Dr. Seuss Reading Marathon. Students can come to school dressed in sweats and may bring pillows and/or stuffed animals. We will be reading all afternoon. It is a fun time.

Have a great evening!

5th graders have been working hard on their Explorer research all week. They will continue this research on Friday and their completed notecards are due on Tuesday. Their explorer maps are due next Friday. They have a schedule of when all components of this project are due. 6th grade will be reviewing for their Chapter 6 Math test tomorrow. The test will be on Friday. Progress reports went home today as well as missing work slips.

Wednesday

5th grade students chose their explorers today for their research project. They will be using the computer lab to research and will write a report and draw a map of their exploration. They will give a presentation of their explorer in front of the class. The students were given a timeline of when their project is due.

Progress reports went home today. Have a great evening.

Tuesday

Winter is certainly still here! All students have spelling homework tonight. We filled in our planners today, and if they come back with parent signature, there may be a surprise waiting. Tomorrow is health and music day. Stay warm and have a nice evening!

Happy New Year!

We had a great first day back at school! It sounds like everyone had a wonderful Christmas and lots of fun with family and friends. It feels good to be back in a routine and we got busy today. We took the Chapter 14 spelling pretest today. They took their words home and wrote in their planners the words they missed. 6th grade is starting Chapter 6 in math and 5th grade is starting Chapter 5. Both grades had spiral reviews for math homework tonight. We did our planners in class today. Consistency in using them is one of our goals. Parents, please take a look at their planners and see what we did today.

6th graders are starting to look at projects for the upcoming Science Fair. Look for more info on that in the future. Have a terrific evening!
