January 6th to January 10th

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! School will resume on Wednesday, January 8th.  

There will be MAPs testing on January 10th.  Please talk to your child about trying their best! Also make sure they eat a good breakfast and get plenty of sleep.  Thank you!

The Eighteenth Week at School:

Science: We will continue the study of energy in chapter 13.  Also, scientists will lead students through many experiments involving the different states of matter on Wednesday, January 8th.

Social Studies: We will begin the study of chapter 3 on customs and immigration.  Also, we will be celebrating Culture Day on Wednesday, January 22nd and Thursday, January 23rd.  Each student should be prepared to share something about his or her cultural heritage with the class.  Please take a look at the Culture Day packet which will be sent home on Wednesday, January 8th.  The Culture Day planning sheet which will also be sent home on Wednesday will be due on Monday, January 13th.  

Math:  We will begin chapter 7 on Multiplication and Division.  This chapter focuses on multiply/divide by 3, 4, 0, and 1.  There will be a multiply and divide by 3 test on Thursday, January 16th.  I had to change the test date again due to changes in MAP testing days.  We will not have math on Tuesday, January 14th.
