This week I met with each of my students individually to review their writing. We also had a one-on-one conference on the goals that need to be met, and talk about the steps we are taking to reach the goals set the beginning of the year.

Each student has a list of spelling words and specific goals to work on!

Lets make this second trimester awesome!

As we enter the this trimester, we are practicing by writing 4 paragraph informative essays! We are introducing hoe to write a thesis statement.

In history, the students are learning about Turning Points in History, and students will be selecting a topic to write the informative essay on.

We need your support at home for the students to complete their homework on time, practice the multiplication facts, complete their daily reading Log, and finish with incomplete classwork as well Independent Study.

Thank you for your time and effort to help your student be successful and confident in school.

Happy holidays!

New students will receive a FREE shirt; additional shirts cost $10-$13. If you need to order a new shirt, please contact the office no later than Friday, October 27th, by 4 PM. We will distribute shirts on or before November 3rd.
