Week of 1/26/09
Dear Parents,
This week we will be studying the following in school: Think Link Probes, Reading - Ramona, Writing (Short Story), Math (Multiplication), and in Science (Stars/Planets). The Science Test is January 27 (or when we return to school from snow days) over Chapter 8; we ran a little behind and had to move the test back. I reminded everyone to take the vocabulary words home that we did in school together. Therefore, we will have our Vocabulary test if there is school Friday even if we miss days for snow.
If you have not come in for your password to access your child's grades (on-line), please do so. It is yet another way we are trying to communicate what is happening academically for your child.
Dates to remember: 1/27 Science Test, 2/3 Skate Party (6-8), 2/9 Mid-terms, 2/13 JRFH, 2/16 No School for students, 2/24 Abe Lincoln Assembly during school day, 2/27 Field Trip/Play, 3/18-3/25 Book fair, 3/26 Science Fair Finals at (6:30p.)
