MONTH END!

Hi All,

I gave out the month end reports today for you to look at and sign.  I will expect them back signed by Friday, Feb. 7. 

We will begin reporting on the Olympics this week.  I will be asking students to make a daily report on their sport if it is happening.  The students are not  expected to submit a report, but they can if they want.

We will begin a new unit in Math, "Operations with Fractions".  There will be a mini math quiz this Friday as usual. 

We continue to study rocks and the students will be drawing a cartoon of the rock cycle.  Most students did very well on the Mineral Quiz!

In Socials, the students are learning about "Julius Caesar". 

We are reading "Old Yeller" in L.A.. As well, we are writing reading response journals.  I will send them home in the report card.

The French teacher Ms. Dvorak is quite pleased with class and their ability to stay on task.

Ms. Petersen continues to enjoy working with our class doing art, personal planning and spelling.

If you have any questions, please contact me on the blog or email me.

Sincerely,

Mrs. MacKinnon
