We are starting to explore our first Survival Math project.  The students will be completing this one in class.  The second one will be an at-home project and is due October 29th.

We have finished up with chapters 8 & 9 with graphing skills and have now moved on to Chapters 1-3.  We will have approximately one test per week and the practice test will always come home the night before.  Students are not allowed to use a homework pass on the practice test.

The daily math homework is always what we have done that day in school, so be sure to help them check it over!  The students are welcome to bring their book back and forth to school.  You will always receive a practice math test the night before the regular test.

We are well into our earth science unit. We have explored the solar system and are now moving on to water and weather.

Hurray for Coach Tucker! We have P.E. every Thursday afternoon.  We will also have many opportunities for classroom P.E. 

Don't forget the walking program. I like it when parents join me in the morning.  It is a great time to get to know each other!

The students have been working with the trumpet. We will have a mini-concert to end this series!!!!!!
