Week of September 29

Hello Parents and Students!

And here we are on another Monday!

We had a spelling pre-test today, we will have the post-test on Friday. The words are tricky. Practice at home would be ideal.

Math this week has been pretty easy for most if not all of the students. We are just working with integers and negative numbers. The only worry that I have is that students will not read directions carefully and will get easy questions wrong. Parents, please encourage them to SLOW DOWN and read the question all the way through. Students, SLOW DOWN and you'll get it right. :)

Science we will be finishing up our unit on Light and begin a short unit on Heat.

I have given the students of a couple of packets to complete in class this week: one for handwriting, and one grammar packet on independent and dependent clauses. Both of these packets are due by Friday. I will give them time in class to complete them, but if they are not done by Thursday, I recommend that they go home to be finished. Late work does not receive full credit.

SEPs are on Wednesday and Thursday! I hope to see everyone there. I will send home reminders tomorrow with each student. If you didn't sign up for a time, I just filled you in one of the empty slots. Please be prompt so that we don't get behind. I will do my very best to stay on time with everyone's visits.

Let's make it a great week!
