Lee, Rogers, Wiley Newsletter
Week of February 25th
What's Happening?
Monday, we will be taking a secure practice Milestones test. Students will have the opportunity to practice using the online tools. Students were trained this week to use the online tools. Please have your child use the practice items provided by the state. You can find links to these items on the Parsons eClass page at the bottom. You will also find links for great review websites.
On March 7th, we will be visiting Hull Middle School for an orientation day. You will find a permission slip in this week's Friday Folder. Please return this as soon as possible. Mark your calendars for the Hull Middle School Parent Night on March 12th. You will not want to miss it!
Please remind your child to always have their cell phone off when at school, not just muted or on vibrate. We have had an increase of cell phones ringing during class. Thank you for your help.

Reading and Word Study with Mrs. Lee
Reading: We are continuing to focus on nonfiction reading skills. This week we will still be focusing on skills needed to read and comprehend historical texts. These are the texts students read in history based classes. This skill will be helpful to them throughout their school career.

Writing with Mrs. Rogers
Science and Social Studies with Ms. Wiley
Next week students will be assessed on the Cold War and how America was involved. Students have their study guides, and should be studying nightly for this test. Our Cold War Test will be on 2/26.
Science:
Students have reviewed their Constructive and Destructive Forces tests in class and have written down the retake date, 2/25, in their agendas. If your student chooses to retake this assessment they must complete the Summative Mastery Ticket AND attach all associated work to the ticket. I must have the completed ticket and work on the day of the retake or your student will not be able to retake this assessment. Remember that students can only retake 2 assessments per subject, per semester.
