WEEK OF JANUARY 19TH,,,

NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY...remember to read.  :)

LIFESKILL OF THE WEEK:

The lifeskill that we are working on this week is Common Sense. It means “to use good judgment”.


FOUR DAY WEEK
Since this will only be a four day week, we will not be having a spelling list, a new reading story, or spelling homework tonight. We will instead be taking a sample State Math test and a sample state Reading test to determine how the students are doing and to locate curriculum areas that we need to focus on. We have three more weeks before our State Writing test. The students have been following the writing process to write a 5 paragraph paper each week. We will continue to work on reviewing these papers as we get closer to the actual test.

ELSINORE THEATER
On Wednesday, the 4th and 5th grade classes have the privilege of attending a play, "Chasing George Washington", at the Elsinore Theater in downtown Salem. The buses as well as the entrance fee is being paid for by the Women's Assistance League. We are very fortunate to be able to attend the play and appreciate being chosen to go.

AAI means “ALL ASSIGNMENTS IN.” If students are focused in class they have time to finish all of their assignments except for Spelling homework and Math. Each Monday I will send home a sheet that will tell you if your child is missing any work in each subject area. Please review it with them Monday night, sign it, and have them return it to class on Tuesday. Anything that shows up missing on that sheet is work that was to be completed in the previous weeks. The students need to complete the work and turn it in to me as soon as possible. The following students were responsible about all of their work in class this term. They are on AAI:

Pedur, Jacoby, Lily, Anthony, Daniel, Solomon, Audrey, Jordyn, Kayla, Larry, Gavin, Joseph, Kahla, Cassandra, Shania, Baylee, McKenzie, Myjha, Parker

NICE WORK!!
