It's been a while!

Hello everyone! I apologize for not posting anything these last few weeks. We've just been so busy!!

First of all, thanks to all of the parents for coming to parent conferences! It is so good to meet with you and touch base on students grades and accomplishments. I was very impressed by the parental support that all of our students have. It is a huge blessing as a teacher to know that the students are getting help and support at home!

As far as what we're doing in class goes, Ms. Lewis has been teaching our class a lot about microorganisms and most of the students are finished with their group projects. In math we've had another test (on decimals) and this week we have a test on factors and divisibility. Our guided reading groups are all about halfway through their books, and in social studies we've been learning about ancient Greece.

Just a few reminders: Students should have their research done for their social studies reports. By the end of this week we will have a rough draft of our reports done. At home, you will want to be working with your child on getting their presentation ready for next week.

Also, students should bring in their Ken Garff folders to get entries for the assembly. I'm sending home a calendar that students can keep in their homework folders to help them keep track of their Ken Garff stuff.

Finally, I'll be sending home book orders in a week or so. I highly encourage you to order online. When you do, I receive money to buy books for our classroom. I'll try to send out a reminder email when those book orders go home and when they are due.

Thanks again for all of your help and support. It really does make a difference! Have a great week!!
