Week of February 16

Welcome back from the long break!

We've got a short but busy week.

Writing: Our second SAGE test will be on Wednesday again this week in the morning. Make up tests for students who missed last week or will miss this week will be on Thursday (19) and Friday (20). PLEASE do all you can to have your students be in attendance these days.

Math: We will take a math test on Thursday morning. We will be reviewing on Tuesday and Wednesday. Students taking the make up SAGE Writing exam on Thursday will miss the math test. We will find a time for them to take it on Friday.

Math Reflection Homework is due every night! If it can't be done on the computer, a hard copy can be turned in.

Reading: Continue to have your students read aloud as much as possible.

Science: We are starting a new unit with Mr. Brady this week! All about microorganims.

Social Studies: Hopefully we'll be moving on to the Renaissance this week or next.

Week of February 9

Hello everyone!

This week will be busy!

Reading: New reading groups! We are loving the new books we are reading.

Writing: SAGE Writing Test on Wednesday February, 11 from 9:15-11:45. PLEASE be present. We will take our second test on Wednesday, February 18 at the same time.

Math: We are working on finding the area of all kind of shapes: parallelograms, triangles, trapezoids, and we'll move into regular polygons and composite figures. We will probably take the chapter test early next week.

Science: Wednesday is the last day with Mrs. Sorenson, and next Tuesday we'll start a unit with Mr. Brady on microorganisms.

Talent Show on Friday! It will be in the afternoon. This is in place of our Valentine's Day Party. Students may not bring individual Valentine's for their classmates to school. If they would like to hand them out outside of school that is great. If students will like to bring a bag of candy to share, that is fine.

As always, let me know if there is anything more I can do for you.
