Thank you to the Elhaddi family for donating goldfish crackers to the class for students who do not bring in snack from home!

We will be trying something different this week to prepare for our Unit 5 Math Test.  I usually send home the Study Guide, however many students do not complete the Study Guide and/or forget to bring it back to school.  Therefore, tomorrow we will complete the Unit 5 Study Guide together in class, students will take it home to study, and the test will be on Thursday.  Students will not need to return the Study Guide to class.

There will be a Science Quiz this Wednesday.  Study Guides were sent home last Friday by Mrs. Smith.

ALL Science Fair Projects are due this Wednesday, January 25th!  Students will present their projects in class for a grade.  Science Fair Night is Thursday, January 26th.  It will start promptly at 6:00 p.m. in the gym with a presentation about Science.  Afterwards, families may walk throughout the school to see projects on display.

The NWEA Math test is scheduled for this Wednesday afternoon in our class.

Reminder:  Friday, January 27th is a half day.  Students will be dismissed at 11:45 a.m.
