Literature groups have started again. They are every Thursday from 2:10-2:45. Please see the sign-up link on the left hand margin to pick a day to come in : )

Academics: 
We will be having  a test in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz on chapters 1-7, on Wednesday. We will work on the study guide Monday and Tuesday in class.
We will have our first test in Meteorology on Friday. It will cover the water cycle, air pressure, trade winds, and clouds. They will receive the study guide on Tuesday.
We will begin AZ history tomorrow.
We continue learning decimals. This week we'll focus on thousandths and ordering, rounding, and putting them into fractions.

We had another week with all homework turned in!!

I added the link to our library's online catalog in the right hand margin. We go to our library during Lyceum on Mondays. Since we only have 20 minutes there, it would be ideal if your student can look for a book in the catalog before coming to school, so he/she will know what they want to check out when they get to the library.

We can use tissues, we started to run low on them last week and are down to our last box. Donations are much appreciated : )

As always Thank you for the privilege of teaching your children,
Mrs. Gore
