Good Morning Families!

This week, students will be engaged in Science Fair preparation.  
The Science Fair will be held this Thursday night from 5:30- 7:30
in the Middle School gymnasium and surrounding classrooms.
Within that time frame, students will locate judges to whom they will present
their project, participate in raffles and can choose to be involved in a scavenger hunt.

Students will be taking the STAR reading and math assessments this week.
Reading will take place on Monday in Literacy class, and math will occur on Friday
during math classes.

Morning math with Ms. Johnson will be held on Mon, Wed, & Fri 7:00-7:30
focusing on geometry and statistics.  Please contact Amy if you are interested i
n this opportunity for your child. ajohnson@mymtsd-vt.org

Social Studies:  Last week we focused on the Plymouth settlement.  
This week we will be taking a break from our Colonization and Settlement Unit
and focusing our energies on the Science Fair projects.  We will utilize our time
on writing and editing to help get the projects ready for Thursday's big event.

Language Arts: Students will be finishing Science Fair writing as well as
continuing with the reading of the Sign of the Beaver.  There will be no homework in
Language Arts, other than to continue work on Science Fair writing.

Literacy: Students will begin reading A wrinkle in Time this week when not engaged
in the Science Fair.
