Happy New Year!

Update: School is closed Monday and Tuesday.  We are expected to return Wednesday, January 8th.  This will work out perfect for my friends that cheer for the Orange and Blue! ;)


Please keep a close eye on the news regarding the weather and school closing.  I know WSFA list school closings as they are told.  We have a good possibility for Monday and Tuesday. 

Everything for this week as far as homework, etc. will be tentative based on how many days we are in school.  Your child needs to be ready with their spelling words either way.  If we aren't in school Monday, I will just give one test on Friday for Spelling.  Your child has their words in their binder to study.

This week begins the 3rd nine weeks.  Report cards are scheduled to come home this Thursday.  Please keep your copy and return the other one signed.

Please don't forget to send in a written excuse when your child is absent.  I have to turn these into the office.

Story this Week: A Weed is a Flower
Genre: Biography
Phonics: Comparative Endings
Comp. Skill: Cause and Effect

In Math we are continuing with subtraction in Chapter 6 / 3-digit addition and subtraction.  Please continue to practice with your child.  Your child should always show the new number when they are regrouping.

In Science we are going to start a Unit on Balancing and Weighing.  This is one of our favorite units in Science! I will make sure I take plenty of pictures so you can enjoy some of the fun with us.

Please continue to work on those math facts with your child.  Check out some of the sites I have to the right of this page.  There are several to choose from. 

Please just send me an email if at any time you would like to have a conference regarding your child.  I am always happy to sit down with you. 

Have a SUPER week, and do your best to stay warm!
