As we begin this week, I want to remind you that Black History Projects are due on February 19, 2010.  There are no exceptions for late projects.  If the projects are not turned in on February 19th, it will result in a zero for your child’s grade.  Remember that there is no school on Friday, Feb. 12 nor on Mon., Feb. 15, 2010.  This is a great time to work on projects. Students are to do research on the person and site at least 3 sources.

Greetings,

   As we continue to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy, let’s remember to have “Days On” by helping out in our communities. Suggestions of things we can to make our communities better include:  helping elderly members of the community clean their yards, travel to the doctor, travel to the stores or provide them with a hot meal. This week will be a great time to teach and train our students how to give back.  Learning how to give back should happen more than one day a year. 

The homework page is up and running; so, don’t forget to check it out.  Have a wonderful “hands on” week.

I am glad to know that we all survived the severe weather.  The test we were scheduled to take on Friday we took today. We are scheduled to take the  Reading Checkpoints test this week. This test will be administered online. Expect report cards to come home on Monday, Jan. 11th.  As always, if you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me or drop in for a visit. Have a great week and don’t forget to check the homework site.

Please continue to practice the multiplication facts as this will help you with division. Science unit is dealing with weather. Watching the weather report each evening will assist with learning how to predict weather. Finally, Theree is a Language Arts and Writing project due on Friday, October 30, 2009. this project consist of the students doing research on a science or social studies topic and putting together a presentation on the information gathered.
