News from this week
Dear Parents,
It was great to see a lot of the students last night at STEAM Night. I hope everyone had a great time!
Progress reports are coming home today. You will receive 2 copies, a yellow and white one. Please sign the yellow copy and return to me on Monday.
Field trip information went home this week. If you have not yet made payment or returned the signed slip, please do so as soon as possible. If you can pay online through MyPaymentsPlus, that would be the easiest way to pay. If you need to send in a check or cash, that is fine as well. Please note that we cannot give change if you pay by cash.
There is still time to order a class photo if you would like one. The deadline has been extended until Tuesday. They are $14.86 each.
Reminder that the students now have Book Club assignments. Please make sure your child is completing the assignment - reading and completed packet - by their due date (it is written on their weekly packet). Also have them read some of it to you and make sure to ask them questions about what is happening in the story to check for their understanding. I have told them that if they do not complete the assigned work once, they will be given a warning. If they do not have it completed twice, they will be dismissed from the book club. They can write this reading on their weekly reading log.
We will have our test on the Civil War next week. I have posted all of my lessons on eClass along with a review powerpoint and other material. Please make sure to help your child study for the test because we have covered a lot of material in this unit. Next week in Math, we will also have a Daily Grade on Monday and a test on Wednesday. The study guide will come home on Monday and will need to be completed by Tuesday. Please help your child review.
Also on my eClass, I have posted several websites that are good for helping your child review for Milestones. It is listed under Milestones review under the Content section of the site.
If you have not already, please send in a folder with prongs for your child. I would like to start to compiling writing portfolios. :-)
If you would like to order a yearbook for your child, please make sure to do so before the end of March. No extra yearbooks are ordered, so this is your only opportunity to buy one.
Have a great weekend!
