Happy New Year!

Important Dates:
Dec. 31st   Happy Birthday Maizic
Jan. 6th    Library
Jan. 9th    Planetarium Fieldtrip


I can’t believe we are already to January in our school year, and we only have 5 months left of school.  We have learned so much, and sill have so much more to accomplish.  We will be working on more reading strategies and opinion writing  all of this week.  We will also be taking the mid-year spelling inventory, and determining what sorts each student needs.  With this in mind, there will be no sorts this week.  We will also be working on our research projects this week.  We will be turning our written rough draft into a finished draft, and then into a power point to be presented in class as an oral presentation.  The majority of this will be done at school.  There may be a minimal amount of editing at home, after we do two to three edits at school.

If you missed the post with the permission slip for the field trip on Friday in it, please scroll down and print the permission slip for Friday’s field trip.  I will take any parent that would like to go, but just need to know by Wednesday so I can plan groups accordingly. Also, please remember that we are asking the students to leave all money at home and for our volunteer parents not to purchase anything in the gift shop or concession stand.  

Homework this week is 20 minutes of reading every night and xtramath.org three times.  Sorts will begin again next week.

Have a great week!
