Whew, what a busy week and we are only halfway through! To keep you in the loop, here's what is going on:
- Upcoming Social Studies Test next Monday 2/7/11 on Chp. 5: Use your social studies spiral notebook to study as well as your textbook. Be sure to look over the vocabulary (dissenter, banish, import, etc.) in our spiral notebook, as well as the map of the 13 colonies, the chart about land types and resources. Remember, much of this is in your spiral notebook, but don't forget to check out your textbook too!
- Family Dance- this Friday. Come and be part of the fun!
- CRCT challenge--Dr. Griffeth and Dr. Taylor have issued a challenge for us! Between now and April 1st, take as many CRCT practice tests as you can. You'll be invited to a special celebration if you complete at least 20 with 75% or higher accuracy (you can go back and take a test again to improve your score). Details were sent home about this on Tuesday 2/1/11. Let's get busy!
- It's almost the end of the 4 1/2 week mark. You should be halfway to your goals in A.R. and on reading logs and timed tests. Work hard, and study often! Parents, don't forget that the curriculum and expectations have picked up considerably now that we are in the second half of the year. Please, please make your child's reading, math practice, studying and homework a priority! Your help is so appreciated!
