Hello Wonderful Mates! I hope you are enjoying your week off and the lovely weather! As you begin thinking about returning to school next week, here are a few reminders:
1. Extra Credit in Social Studies--this was given to you a few weeks ago (a map about one of the 13 colonies with a few facts). Your extra credit is worth 10 pts added to your lowest grade and is due March 1, 2011.
2. Next week on Wednesday 3/2/11 we will be taking the 4th grade writing assessment. This is a test to prepare you for the 5th grade writing test. Every student will be given a prompt and then we will be given a certain amount of time to complete the brainstorming and rough draft, and then complete the final draft. Please remember to prepare for this as you would any test-- get enough sleep the night before, eat a good healthy breakfast, and come in with a great attitude!
3. We have about 3 weeks left in this grading period. Every child received a progress update, but please keep the end of the 9 week period in mind when studying for tests and completing classwork, and preparing to meet final A.R./reading log goals.
Our last reading log/math log check will be on Thursday 3/17/11 (the official end of the 9 wks). If you have already met your reading log goal, you do not need to turn in your final log.
