     Wow!  January flew by.  I am grateful for all the hard work your kids are putting in to learn.  
     This week, the students are learning about working together in reading.  They are reviewing how to write explanatory paragraphs.  They are also reviewing how to write opinion paragraphs.  These will be beneficial in their SAGE writing test for the next two weeks.  Please have your students here, every day, to participate in reviewing and testing.
     Math is still about fractions.  Show your kids when you use fractions at home.  
     We will test on the Rocks, weathering, soil unit in Science this Thursday.  See the study guide sent home in your student's homework folder.

     Hello.  I am so glad we got to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr., day.  It's nice to think of what people in the past have contributed to make lives better today in some way.  
     I need you to go through the math tests coming home today.  Talk through the problems and explain how to do them to your child.  You can get help on the connect-ed site for our school.  Your kids know their login (it's their success maker username and password).  Or you can get help on youtube.  It's very important that the kids get the foundation of fractions.

     This week, we continue our rock, soil, and weathering unit.  The kids are learning about igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.  Please have them complete their rock discovery guide to turn in this Friday, January 16.
     The kids did really well on their vocabulary assessment last week.  I am happy about that.
     Most of the kids went up, as well, on their Language Arts unit test given before Christmas break.  I love the progress they are making.
     Next month will start the SAGE testing with writing.  Your children are preparing by writing about opinions and information.

     Welcome back everyone!   I am sorry I am late in updating this information.  Since I wasn't at school on Monday, I have fallen behind.  
     I hope you all had a good break.  I had a great time with family and friends.  
     We won the best attendance for December!  We get a class pizza party this Friday.  I am so glad that you and your students make good efforts to come to school every day and stay all day.  It is important for their learning and growth.
