Happy New Year and Welcome Back!    I would like to express my sincere gratitude for all the lovely gifts, cards, and contibutions to the teacher’s Christmas fund -  your generosity is very much appreciated.  I would also like to thank the PSO for the delicious buffet.  I am truly blessed to be part of such a loving and supportive community.

Spanish:  Family Tree Projects and workbooks are due Thursday, January 7

Religion:  We will finish up chapter 4 this week and take the test on Thursday, January 7.  The bible verse for this chapter is Genesis 1:27.

Reading:  Just a reminder, the snowman project is only half of the Accelerated Reader grade.    The students must  also take and pass an accelerated reader test on a book different from that of their snowman project (the program considers anything above 60% passing).   Friday is the final day the test may be taken.

English:  The Unit 3 test is Friday, and we will review all week using the Checkup exercises on pages 120-121 and the Test Practice pages 122-123.    The questions found on these pages are very similar to those on the test. We should have all the pages completed and corrected by Thursday; please be sure to review all the questions your child missed.   On the day of the test students are required to turn in all Unit 3 class notes with a parent signature.   These notes represent the student’s participation effort in class and can add up to 5 extra credit points to the test score (If notes are not turned in, 5 points will be deducted from the test score).

Spelling:  A new list will be given on Thursday - no test this week.
