With the end of the trimester approaching, and still trying to play a little catch up on other curriculum areas, we will take another week off from vocabulary and grammar.
Students with numbers 1-12 have their next reading response letters due on Friday, March 1st.

We are now working through our science unit, Investigating Matter! We are doing many hands-on activities and exploring the properties that make up solids, liquids, and gases. We anticipate wrapping up the unit by the end of next week and testing sometime the following week (week of 3/4). We will let the class know when we have a definitive date set. Resources to review will be posted to Edmodo or can be found here.
Our Chapter 8 Math test on decimals is tentatively scheduled for Friday, March 1st.
We are working our way through the Nonfiction reading unit. We anticipate wrapping up this unit sometime this upcoming week. The test for our class will be early-middle of the week of 3/4. I will let the class know later in the week when we have a set date for that, as well.
Annual Erin’s Law Presentations given by our wonderful social worker, Mrs. Judy Thompson are scheduled for each class sometime throughout this upcoming week of February 25th. If you would like any further information about Erin’s Law, our district website has some resources you can explore. Our class’s presentation will be Monday morning.
Thank you to everyone who filled out a conference request form. We will be scheduling conferences as a building this upcoming week and will be sending home notifications of your specific, scheduled time. Please look for this by the end of the week and let me know as soon as possible if there is any conflict with your scheduled times.
Due to the additional days off from our winter weather, the district has pushed back the end of the trimester and sending report cards home by 1 week. Report cards will now be emailed to you on Friday, March 15th. This DOES NOT impact scheduled conferences or spring break, just when you get the progress report. :) Please let me know if you have any questions!
