February 9-13

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ATTENDED AND HELPED DURING THE BIGGEST FUNDRAISER OF THE YEAR!!! IT WAS VERY NICE TO SEE THE SUPPORT FOR OUR SCHOOL.  THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME AND SUPPORT.


This week is a short week. We will have NO SCHOOL on February 13th or 16th in honor of President's Day.  School will resume on February 17th.  International Night will be tomorrow night from 6-8 pm.  If you are in need of hours you may help during the evening.

Progress reports will be going home on Thursday.  Remember we are 1/2 way through the school year.  It is very important that your child is not turning in late or no work at all.  This will be reflective on their progress reports.  It is your child's responsibility to turn in work when it is due.  Late will result in a lower grade.

Thank you to all the students and parents who were able to turn in their Brazil reports on Friday.  This helps in making our students responsible and able to prepare for their future in paying attention to detail.

Subjects:
Writing - we will be working on friendly letters and invitation writing
Spelling and Reading - TORNADO ALERT, spelling and reading test will be on Thursday.  There are 8 vocabulary words.  Your child is tested each week on the vocab words and needs to know the definition of the words.  If they are still struggling please help them at home every night.
Math - Ch. 11 Division with Remainders
Social Studies - CH. 6 Building Communities
Religion - Lent and ch. 18
Science - Unit B ch. 2 test Thursday, You will need to sign study guide tonight and return tomorrow

I am trying something new with the study guides for tests since it seems as if some students are still not taking home study guides.  It is very important that parents are involved in the process of helping your child with study skills also along with school.  WHEN THERE IS AN UPCOMING TEST A STUDY GUIDE IS DONE IN CLASS. STUDENTS WILL TAKE IT HOME AND IT NEEDS TO BE SIGNED THAT NIGHT BY A PARENT.  THIS SHOWS THAT YOU AS THE PARENT ARE MAKING A CONSCIOUS EFFORT IN HELPING YOUR CHILD SUCCEED.  IF IT IS NOT SIGNED I WILL TAKE PART OF YOUR CHILD'S RECESS AWAY SO PLEASE DO NOT TURN  THEM WHEN THEY ASK FOR HELP WITH THEIR STUDY GUIDE.  I AM ASKING YOU HELP IN GUIDING YOUR CHILD.  THANK YOU

We will be having a Valentines party on THURSDAY AFTERNOON. Students may bring valentines but please only have them write who it is from not who the valentine is for.  This will make it much easier to pass out.  You may also send in candy to pass out but we will have a treat available for them.  Thursday will be a Free Dress but you must wear RED AND WHITE.  Jeans are acceptable.

Thanks again and feel free to contact me if needed.
