Hello, Families!

Announcements:

• This week parents/ students should receive report cards in the mail

• Spring Sports Meeting - Monday, 3/26 at 6:30 pm in the MS Gym.

• This is a busy week of preparation for Science Fair finalists and

Junior Iron Chef participants.  We wish all of you good luck in your
Saturday, March 24 presentations!

• SBAC (Reading and writing) begins Monday, 3/26 and continues

through 3/30. Math SBAC is the following week.

In Language Arts, students will finish public speaking presentations today,

due to the snow day.  It is wonderful to see the courage our students possess

to stand and deliver in front of their peers.    We will spend the rest of the week

refreshing our reading skills and strategies that have been introduced throughout

the year.

Math students are expected to be practicing their Math skills on Mathdrills.com  

Worksheets and an answer key are available on this site.

Social Studies:  Since we were pushed back a day due to the snow day, the

vocabulary quiz will now be this week.  Also, students have been working in

groups on posters which they will use to "teach" the class about one aspect of

Westward Expansion.  By the end of the week, students will be putting these events

into a timeline.
QUIZ - Friday (students should study the 6 words from their vocabulary

worksheet)

Literacy- As always read at least 20 minutes a night, it makes a world of difference!

 By Tuesday, Chapter 8 reading and questions for a Wrinkle in Time should

be complete.

Have a great week!
