Please check your child’s agenda each night. I’ve been writing in the missing assignments and hoping they will be returned the next day so their grade will not be affected too much. I have extra copies of everything available if your student needs them.

The students are really understanding decimals! I’m very pleased with their progress in math.

This week we will finish chemistry with studying solutions and suspensions. We will have a cumulative test for chemistry on Friday.

We are learning about Arizona’s history this quarter. The first quiz will be this Thursday.

       We will be reading chapters 9-13 in Prince Caspian this week. We continue to integrate our language arts and literature. I have seen a marked improvement in their writing; it’s hard work but they seem to enjoy the process.

Thanks to all who donated boxes of tissues : ) Please keep them coming, they are still greatly needed and much appreciated!

Please clear out the “take home” folders regularly. The only thing that should be in there is homework to return and any papers that help with that homework.
