What's Happening?
We are in the process of changing our emails within the schools system. Our new emails are active now. My new email is jennifer.b.lee@gcpsk12.org. I have done a test email and I did receive it. You can still send emails through the old address, however as the change over continues, I may begin not receiving them. If you send an email to the old address and you don't here from me within 24 hours, please use the new address. Thanks!

More info on the two field trips are coming soon. You can go ahead and complete the information for both on mypaymentsplus. You do not have to wait for the permission slips. We will be taking two chaperones per class to the Fox Theater in March. If you are interested in joining us, please let me know. Due to space at the Fox, we will not be able to have more than two parents per class.
Please take care of the t-shirt order first. We would like to have these printed and ready for our March trip.

What are we learning?
Math (Mrs. Lee's Class): We have completed the unit on dividing unit fractions and whole numbers. We discussed the study guide today. The test is on Wednesday.
Science (Mrs. Lee's Class): We are continuing our unit on constructive and destructive forces. Students will be designing a model to show how a specific land form is created with a group of students starting on Thursday. Students met with their group today to determine what supplies they will need to bring to school for this project. Please ask your child about what they need to bring for this project.
Social Studies: World War II is the continued focus. All class powerpoints will be on our eClass page for reviewing. There are great review questions at the end of each as well.
Writing/Reading: We are focusing on opinion reading and writing. Students have chosen a "hot topic" to learn about. I encourage students to research at home as well as read the articles I provide. Since these are current topics, the research might need to be Google based. Please monitor your child as they research their topic further.
Word Study: focusing on spelling patterns with word sorts
