Another Week Starts...

Just when we thought Spring was here to stay...we're back to cool temperatures and a dreary sky!

We had a great visit with Mrs. Harper, Mr. Coffman and some former Northpoint students this morning. They were full of information for us about the upcoming school year and our transition to Discovery. There is an important yellow packet that is full of important dates and information that should be shared tonight at home. Please make special note of the date in which parents and students are invited to Discovery in the evening for an orientation...you won't want to miss it.


LA: Today starts a new story, Catch of the Day which is a play about a trickster! We listened to teh story on CD this morning and previewed the vocabulary words. We also took our spelling pre-test and worked on some spelling skills. In computer lab, we spent time on Study Island reviewing some important language arts skills that we've previously learned.

HW: Weekly homework is due on Friday. Published book forms are due on Thursday of this week. We have a special IMC this week, we will be attending the book fair on Wednesday...you may purchase items at that time.

Math: We spent time today working with partners and exploring how to best read graphs and match data with set graphs.

HW: Finish pages 367-368 if you didn't finish in class, math box 10.7 and WAM #9 are due tomorrow. POW is due Friday. Don't' forget: the first problem needs to be worked out on the problem solving page.

Social Studies: More review of the three branches of government and then some review of the 50 states and capitals.

HW: States and Capitals test tomorrow

Don't forget:
  • Wednesday is Hat Day...consider bringing at least $1.00 to be donated towards purchasing Malaria nets for under privileged countries and wearing a hat.
  • Art Smart on Wednesday brings out Tempera Paint! Please come prepared to get messy!
  • Thursday is Galaxy Gallery. Bring your family to enjoy the marvelous art work that has been carefully hung around our school building. The book fair will be open as well.
