Team Independence Weekly Update

Hello Families!

We would like to congratulate all of our students for their successful completion of the 2018 Science Fair!  Feedback from judges stated that students presented with confidence and enthusiasm, we are so proud!

There is a dance this Friday, February 16.  Students will “dress-up” which consists of wearing something other than a t-shirt or sweatshirt, if they choose the option of changing up their look for the night.  $4.00 gets students in the door starting at 7:00 and snacks will be sold.  The dance ends at 9:00pm.

Social Studies:  This week we are back into our unit on Colonization and Settlement.  We will finish comparing and contrasting Plymouth and Jamestown early in the week and then we will begin review for an assessment which will take place Friday.  Here is what they need to work on:
1. Squanto questions or character portrait (their choice) - due Tues
2. Review worksheet (2 sided) on Plymouth and Jamestown - due Wed
3. Review for assessment - 15-20  minutes per night starting Wed.

In Language Arts, students will finish the Sign of the Beaver novel.  A summary of the book will be required by the end of Friday’s class and an assessment will take place on Tuesday of next week.  

In Math, students completed the STAR assessment and many improved since the last test in September.  Please ask your child about their results.

Literacy students took the STAR reading assessment last week, and are reading A Wrinkle in Time this week in class.
