Reminder...Next Friday, we will be kicking off the holiday break in each classroom with a craft during the morning. In the afternoon, the students will be watching a movie as their class party. I have informed the students, that if they are to participate in the afternoon movie, all math and science work must be done and turned in. All zeroes must be replaced with corrected work to be included in the movie. I shared with every child today what if anything they currently have missing. This gives everyone a full week to make up any necessary work. Thank you in advance for your support in encouraging your child to complete all required work before play!
Also...I will be sending another grade report home next Friday. Please remember, your child can make corrections to any daily assignments in both math and science. They will have two weeks upon returning from the holiday break to improve their grades and deepen their learning before semester grades are recorded.
Homework:

I apologize for a lack of a blog for the last two days. With conferences on Tuesday after school, and my being away at a meeting yesterday, I didn't get messages out for a few days! I'm back with a lot of information, though, today!
Reminder...Parent/Teacher conferences are scheduled for this evening from 4-8PM. We hope to see everyone there. Thank you to those families who stopped in to see us on Tuesday. These conferences are unscheduled. Please stop in at your convenience!

Check out the kids using these large puzzles to practice muscle and bone placement in the body!! It was sure a lot of fun! A huge thank you to Mrs. Kern for sharing her puzzles with us! We greatly appreciate it!
