Happy Friday!


I hope the nice weather continues into the weekend for all of you!



Here's what we're up to:



Language Arts: We should be finishing our animal reports this week. Those who have finished are comparing their animal to someone else's. They've done really nice work with this "Reading Science Texts" unit. Next will be "Novels".



Math: We're finishing up with fractions and we're starting on Geometry on Monday. We're trying to get a lot done before MSA's in March. Can you believe it's almost March!?!?



Science: We've been testing all of our mystery powders with different liquids. So far we've used water, vinegar, and iodine. Next week we'll use red cabbage juice. Then we'll look back on all of our observations and see if we can figure out what the mystery chemicals really are!



Word Study: Our focus next week will be with plurals.



Cursive: Our two letters for next week will be N and M.



Please remember our schedule is changing next week. Thursday is a half day - starting 4 hours later than usual. Friday is also a half day - ending 3 1/2 hours earlier than usual. There will be no lunch served on Thursday.



Another note: I am still having problems with students not doing their homework completely. Please do not sign or initial your child's agenda until everything is done and packed up - Thanks!



Have a wonderful weekend!!
