EOG books

Last week a letter came home regarding Coach EOG test prep booklets.  We are asking that orders be in by no later than this Friday so we can get them ordered as soon as possible. If you need more information please contact your child's teacher.

No Spelling

There will be no spelling for the next two weeks. This week we will not be here on Friday to test and next week there are many events going on that will alter our instruction time on various days.

Valentine's Day

We will be having a small Valentine party/snack where students can exchange cards with the children in their homerooms. Bags will be provided for the students to decorate and use to collect their cards. If a child brings cards we ask that they bring one for everyone in the class. The room moms should be contacting you about party details.

Blue Group

Blue Group will need a peice of full sized posterboard for an upcoming project that will be completed entirely at school.  Please send this in by next Thursday so that the students can be ready to begin their project.

This week's task

I apologize for not posting this week's task on the task page. I am still adjusting to getting them from Mrs. Parrish to be able to put on the page.

Feb 4 Math homework

White group should do  www.ixl.com  R.13 level E, Score of 60 or 30 minutes whichever comes first.
Blue group has no homework because they took a test today on Area and Perimeter.

Coach Books

A letter is coming home today about the opportunity to purchase EOG practice Coach Books. The books are $16 each. These are a good resource to use as practice at home to help prepare your child for the EOG.  A handful of students have also been invited to attend tutoring sessions. We are asking that these students purchase the books to be used in tutoring. If your child is invited to tutoring they will have a different letter in their folder.

Materials

This week the White Group will be making bird nests. If you have any yarn or colored string that you could spare it would be greatly appreciated. Please send it in no later than Wednesday.

Agendas

We are asking that you ask your child to show you their agenda each night. Many students are not completing homework assignments. We are starting a new quarter and we want the students to stay on top of things from the start. The best way you can help is to check their agendas and make sure they have completed all of their assignments.
