Students are responsible for the following work tonight:
-Reading Log (will be collected on Thursday)
-Math 101, 1-15
-Number the Stars vocabulary, section 3 (quiz on Thursday)
Red folders went home for the first time in three weeks today. Thanks everyone again for your patience with my recovery. Please pay attention to the notices that were included in the Red Folders today, especially from the Eatons and Scotts regarding the gift basket for the Golf Tounament and Auction in May. The papers you will have received today are current and reflect work up to this past Friday. California tests were miserable, which was really quite disappointing. I practically spoon-fed the answers to the kids on Thursday when we spent over an hour playing Jeopardy as a review. On a positive note, the Number the Stars quizzes were excellent. Even math scores were improved!
Thursday of this week will be heavy with assessments. We will be finishing up rocks and minerals on Wednesday and testing on Thursday. Students will also be quizzed on this week's chapters from Number the Stars, from the reading vocabulary and on the chapter 5 reading theme test. Please make sure that your children are at school on Thursday. Spring Break doesn't start until Friday folks. From these assessments I will be compiling progress reports over the Spring Break to send home the week we return to class.
If folks are feeling generous, the Discovery Channel store is taking pre-order for the Planet Earth dvd series. A little bird told me that the class would seriously dig having the set for reference, etc.
Respectfully, Mr. B
