This week: 2/3

Your child’s report card came home today in an envelope.  Please sign the sticker on the envelope and keep the report cards.

 

I will not be in the classroom on Tuesday or Wednesday this week. I will be at a professional development in the district.  I left lots of plans for the substitute, and I trust my students will treat her with respect while I am gone.

 

Wednesday morning we have an assembly for our student of the month for January : Mazen AlDakkak, and our two bucket fillers  Mariam AlHuri and Gadeer Alshara.  There will be a police officer there speaking about stranger danger as well.  Parents are welcome.  The assembly begins at 9:00.

No school tomorrow 1/28

We will not have school tomorrow.  Please read your books, practice your flash cards in your math bags, do both Monday and Tuesdays spelling homework, and complete your drill sheet.

Remember, we are learning about mixtures in science…at home try to find a mixture!  Then, think about what makes it a mixture.

In writing we are beginning informational writing.  Remember each of you picked an animal to research this week.  You can begin to read about your animal online using the Mel.org website that we explored today.  You can also try nationalgeographickids.com.  This way, you will be all ready to do your research when we go to the computer lab!

Friday is our math masters contest…so, remember to practice math facts if you want to be a math master!
