One More Week Till Spring Break

Hello parents!!!! This is our last week until Spring Break.  We have miles and miles to go before we sleep. Here are a couple of updates for this week.  

Reminders

As we are getting closer to the end of the year, some of us have already started to drift away on summer break.  We still have so much left to do.  I want to remind students of a couple of things.  

1.  Putting names on papers- For every assignment that is turned in, we have at least 6 papers without names.  Students have been told that these assignments will not be graded.  We are way to busy to check which paper belongs to whom.

2.  Checking over our work-  Many times mistakes can be caught if students will check over their work. 

3.  AR tests must be taken on your book level.  Each student has their own individual level.  Tests should be taken on this level.  

4.  The last day to check out books from the Library will be May 1, 2014.

5.  Tomorrow is the last opportunity for students to pass the Principal's Math Challenge.

6. Remember to always be on your best behavior.

Parents, please remind your child of these things. 

Spring Break Work

Every year I debate about whether to send work home over Spring Break or not.  This year, I have decided that I will send a reading log and that will be all. I do encourage students to go on ixl.com and GA OAS at least once over the break. When we get back, we will have two and half weeks until CRCT.  I do want students to have a break.  However, I do want them to be engaged in some type of learning activity. 

We are studying......

This week we are working on the following topics:

Language Arts-  Hero Writing
