Monday, January 11th

During ELA we completed our daily grammar and continued reading Gathering Blue.  We uncovered some interesting plot points today and students used the text to analyze character actions, make inferences, and discuss connections.

During social studies students finished working on their WWI packets.  We will conclude our WWI instruction and activities this week.  I'm tentatively planning the assessment for next Wednesday and I'll have a study guide available by Thursday.

Progress Reports
Progress reports are coming home today along with MAP scores.  For the few students who have "Specials" area comments, please contact the applicable specials teacher if you have any questions.  The forms don't need to be signed or returned.

Snack
I want to remind parents that our flex group has a working snack after our transition each day.  I've noticed that some students consistently don't have a snack and that's a bit worrisome since we don't have lunch until 1:00pm.  During this school year when we have had donated snacks or extras from school events we have shared them with students. However, teachers are unable to provide snack for large numbers of students each day.  

Homework
-ELA/SS homework (writing and WWI) - due Thursday
-Math homework - due Thursday
-Read for 30 minutes daily
