Midterm-

Today, Dec. 10, I will begin entering our Midterm grades. Students are now halfway through our 2nd marking period.

Math-
We have been working our way through fractions. This week we looked at Mixed Numbers, adding fractions, equivalent fractions, and finding fractions on a number line.

We will have a test over our Fractions on Thursday.

Missing Work-
The class discovered that we were having quite a few missing/late assignments. We are all going to be working hard not to get behind again!

Our legend books are looking great! Each child has done a fine job and has truly worked very hard! We can’t wait to show them to you!

Students will receive their Pizza Hut Book-It slips on Monday for being at 50% of their AR reading goal.

December Awards Assembly -
We will be recognizing our students who show Service and Stewardship. We will also be awarding the Reading and Math awards. Please join us on Thursday.

Spelling-
Many of the students enjoyed using the web to create their Crosswords and Word Searches this week! I was proud of the many students who also completed the extra credit “Find it in Print” activity.

Science-
Next week we will be covering Chapter 12 from our Science textbooks. We will be looking at how Heat is transferred. The chapter is only 2 lessons long. We will have the Chapter 12 test on Thursday next week!
