News You Can Use!
Week of September 4th... Mrs. B and Mrs. R
Remember that Monday, September 4th, is the Labor Day holiday! School will resume Tuesday, September 5th. Enjoy the extended weekend!
Thank you to all families who were able to join us for Curriculum Night. The powerpoint of our presentation will be uploaded to eClass this weekend.
Beginning Tuesday, September 5th, students will receive a check in their Friday Folders for not completing work carefully if they fail to capitalize their names. Checks will also be given if they do not use a capital "I" when referring to himself or herself.
Curriculum Update
Social Studies- We will be completing our study of the Civil War. The test will be administered Wednesday. The students have a complete "study guide" with their notes kept in the social studies folder.
Writing- We will use the students' flash drafts that they created in class to begin the writing process on narratives.
Science- We have finished up our unit on Cells and begin our unit on Classifying Animals. The 3D cell projects were GREAT! I hope to have them graded sent home today.
Math- Place Value and Powers of 10 are up next for math. We took our daily graded math quiz over multiplication and division today. Out Unit 1 test over Order of Operations and Multiplication and Division will be on Thursday next week. Please try not to have your student absent on Thursday, as we will test on the computer.
