President's Day Week

Well what do you know-another short week with more snow coming our way! Hopefully there are no delays or cancellations from the snow!

This week we are finally moving on in most subjects.

Science we are working through our Coach books to get ready for the tests-that-shall-not-be-named in May, as well as learning about Light Energy. The quiz for this concept will likely be at the end of this week or beginning of next week.

Social Studies we are taking somewhat of a hiatus to work on test preparation and catching up on other subjects. I really like social studies,  though, so I want to do a little bit with the students even if it's only one day a week.  This week or next week we will begin interactive notebooks focusing on pre-Revolutionary War events.

English we will be moving on to adjectives this week as we took the verb test at the end of last week.

Reading focus will be on comparing and contrasting and point of view. We are also doing some test prep during this time-oh boy.  I might start sending home some practice tests for the students!

We begin our Pennies for Patients campaign this week. Bring in any kind of loose change you can find!

The students did an awesome job with the box tops! I was very happy with how many were brought in to support the school!

I believe that is it for now. Only a few weeks left in the third quarter. Everyone wish for warmer weather soon!
