Miss Pellin's Post
January 13th to January 17th

Remember that on Monday, January 20th there will not be school due to Martin Luther King's birthday.    Also, there will be an early dismissal at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, January 15th.  Please plan accordingly.  

Our class will take their reading MAP test on Tuesday, January 14th.  Please talk to your child about trying their best! Also make sure they eat a good breakfast and get plenty of sleep.  Thank you!

Six Flags’ Read to Succeed logs are due on Monday, February 3.

The Nineteenth Week at School:

Science: We will continue the study of energy in chapter 13.  We will finish lesson 1 on potential and kinetic energy and then move on to lesson 2.  

Social Studies:  We will continue 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 and should have a visual aide.  Please take a look at the Culture Day packet that was sent home on Wednesday, January 8th.  The Culture Day planning sheet is due on Monday, January 13th.  

Math:  We will continue 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 and the early dismissal.  We will not have math on Tuesday, January 14th and will have shortened math on Wednesday, January 15th.
