Winter Break
Dear Students and Parents,
Happy New Year!!!! 
I hope you are all having a relaxing break! Students, you need to be working on your writing activities, Mobymax assignments, and reading your books or reading on Myon daily. Be creative with your solar system 3-D model, don’t stress about it. If you have any questions or need any help, please e-mail me. I’ve uploaded the handouts you were given before break. I hope you enjoy the rest of the break!

Week of December 19-23
Hello parents and students,
Students must be dressed appropriately for the cold weather. Students need to wear jackets, hats, and gloves everyday. They all require good protection from the freezing weather.
We will be completing the social studies study guide for this unit on Colonial America so that students have it to review during winter break. Our test will be the week we come back from winter break (week of January 9-13).
Students will continue working on their solar system research reports. Each student has a part to research and write about. They need to find time at home to work on their reports. The Solar System Report Criteria is uploaded under the Science tab. If you don’t have a copy or if you forgot what to write, use the report criteria to guide you.
