Week of Jan 5

Welcome Back!

I hope that you all had a great winter break!

Well, as always, we are diving right back into everything.

Reading: We will be DRA testing this week. Continue to have your students read out loud! This is so helpful in their preparation.

Reading Logs were due today, but will be accepted for partial credit if turned in late.

Writing: We are starting a new argumentative piece - Should Cell Phones Be Allowed In School. We'll see if we can improve our writing from our last essay.

Math: We are getting into some simple algebra: solving for a single unknown variable. This is new and exciting, but it's important that we lay a solid foundation that will carry them throughout their junior high, high school, and college math.

Science: New unit with Mrs. Sorenson on the Solar System and the Universe. So much to comprehend!

Social Studies: This week we will finish up our unit on Greek Gods and Goddesses. It's been fun to read about the adventures of the Gods and Goddesses.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any concerns or questions. Email is the best way to get a hold of me.

Thanks for everything you do!
