Upcoming important dates

Please remember our field trip to the Tech Museum is Wednesday, January 25th. Your child will need to pack a bag lunch. We still have space for one more chaperone, so if you would like to join please let me know as soon as possible.

 Also, this week we are starting state reports. This project is our first major writing assignment and will make up a large portion of their social studies grade for this and the next trimester. Rough Draft of the report is due 2/17 and the final/second draft is due 3/16. Please check in with your child on the progress of their report.

Wordly Wise Midterm 1/31/12- This test will cover lessons 1 through 10 of the Wordly Wise Program. We will review the words in class but the students need to study everyday at home to prepare.
