Week of January 9-13

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break and snow day.  I want to remind everyone that Monday the 9th and Friday the 13th are early release days so students will be getting out at 12:50 that day.  Next week we will continue in our reading street series with a story title A Symphony of Whales.  This story has proven to challenging in the past so please make sure students are reading it every night and discussing it with you.  We have taken our third math assessment which dealt with multiplication and division along with strategies.  Please make sure students are practicing their math facts nightly.  We will begin getting into Geometry by discussing quadrilaterals and the different types of quadrilaterals.  Friday, January 13th is the last day of the quarter so please make sure students are reading and trying to get their AR points.  Lastly we will begin our winter MAP testing so please make sure students get a good nights rest and a nutritious breakfast in the morning.  I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
