Cancer Smasher starts this week. If you would like to donate to the cause please bring in your money Monday-Friday.
ISAT’s start on Tuesday, 3/5, they will be going for 2 weeks.


 Thank you for donating to the treasure chest! We have filled our treasure chest goodies! 


Math:
As we continue to approach ISAT’s, we will be using other resources to prepare for ISAT testing. This week we will start on division of 3’s. Please continue to review multiplication and division facts with your child.

Reading: 
We will continue to work on our African American biographies, as well as preparing for ISAT’s. The majority of the biographies will be done in school. If they are still not completed by 2-28, then it will be sent home to be return on Friday 3-1.

Spelling: 
We are starting spelling AGAIN! This week will be list 17. The pretest is on Monday and the Final Test is on Friday. If your child gets 0,1, or 2 wrong on the pretest they will have 2 challenge activities and the cursive sheet, they have the option to take the test on Friday. If they get more than 2 words wrong, they will have the regular work. (Cursive sheet and two assigned activities) The homework is due on Thursday.

English:
The students will continue their autobiographies this week. This week we will type the final copies. We will also be starting Unit 4 Adjectives in our English text. The pretest will be on Wednesday.

Social Studies:
We have started our Chicago unit! It is so fun to hear all the knowledge that the students already have! For the Chicago unit, there will be quizzes along the way. Our first quiz will approximately be on Monday, March 4. Because that is ISAT week, I will be letting the students use the book and their packets for this quiz. For quizzes to follow, they will not be able to use their books/packets. 

Science:
The Chapter 14 test has been pushed back to 2-28-13
Have a wonderful weekend!
