Good morning,

 

This week we are starting Chapter 7 in Math; Chapter 7 is about Multiplying Fractions. The students will not have Math homework today but will have Reading and Spelling. Math homework will resume next week.

 

In Language Arts we are working on stressed and unstressed syllables, central ideas, and authors craft. On Thursday, we will have our in class Spelling Bee to determine who will represent our class in the school Spelling Bee later this month. We are also working on a Black History Month project in class. Students are working in small groups and researching a different influential jazz musician and compiling information into a short biography. Our completed biographies will be displayed on a bulletin board in the hallway when we are finished. 

 

The World's Finest Chocolate sale is going on from now until February 23rd. Students can check out a box of chocolate to sell with a signed permission slip.

 

The student council will be selling Candy Grams this week in preparation for Valentine's Day. If your student would like to purchase Candy Grams to send to their friends, they will be on sale this week at lunch. It is $1 for one Candy Gram and $2 for five. 

 

On Thursday, February 15^th we will be holding Parent University #3 at 8:15 in the Cafeteria. The topic is "How to help your child be prepared for state testing." It is a great resource for parents if you are available to attend.
