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. We will have a math quiz on Thursday.

I was very pleased with the grades on the chemistry test. They seemed to really understand it and enjoyed learning it. We are studying some more about the scientific method this week and then we will go on to magnetism and electricity.

They also did well on their history test. They will continue with ancient people of Arizona this week.

      We finish up Prince Caspian this week. Their test on chapters 8-15 will be on Friday.

      On Tuesday, we will be doing Galileo testing. This isn’t something they study for. It just lets me know how they are progressing.

      Don’t forget that Friday is a half day. We will have a Great Hearts celebration in our classroom after the assembly. You should have gotten an email about this. If not, let me know and I’ll make sure you’re in the know : )

       Also, don’t forget that there is no school on Monday due to President’s Day!   

Thanks to all who donated boxes of tissues : ) Please keep them coming, they are still greatly needed and much appreciated! We could also use more band aids.

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.
