Spring is here!

I just finished grading our reading quiz over the last two chapters of Night of the Twisters. Those will go home tomorrow. Also, I graded the cinquain poems we wrote for Lincoln and Davis today. Wow!  I am really impressed with the quality of word choice!!!

Many important things are popping up!  This week, there will be a parent orientation at Granger on Wednesday at 7:00pm. Please attend, especially if this is the first time you have a student moving to middle school.  We have our field trip to Granger on Friday morning.  There are still 4 kids who have not returned the trip permission slip (was due last Friday).

Homework this week:

Social Studies-test over ch. 14 is moved to Wednesday. There are many materials with which to study.  Please take time to cover material to prepare.  We will move right into chapter 15, our last chapter of the book. 

Math- my class is working on using formulas, conversions, rates, and ratios. Every day this week could be an entrance slip over conversions, so students should study those nightly. Think about all the ways those questions could look. 

Reading-genre projects due tomorrow (except for those kids who earned 10 points of extra credit by doing it early last week).  Keep LOGGING PAGES!!

Newsletter should be written and signed by a parent by Wednesday (most kids finished writing in class)

A new word list will be given Wednesday. Pretest Wednesday.
