Parent/Teacher Conferences
It was nice to sit down with so many of you to discuss the progress of your students. Please remember that whether you met with me at conferences or not, I always welcome your questions and/or concerns.
Too Good For Drugs (TGFD) Program
We did not have a session this past week due to early dismissal on Thursday and no school on Friday. Students will meet with Deputy K again on Thursday, March 19. He will be talking about an essay that all students need to complete before graduation from the program. Please watch for an invitation to come home about TGFD Graduation on Monday, April 13.
Subject Update:
Science and Social Studies (Homeroom)
- Science - The students learned how plants make their own food through the process of photosynthesis. They will be reading how this is important to consumers (animals that eat plants or other animals).
- Social Studies - Students will put the final touches on their Patriot/Loyalist books. As we begin Chapter 9, students will read about the colonists declaring independence from England.
Language Arts Block
- Spelling - Lesson 23 focuses on forms of the prefix ad.
- English - We will begin our unit on verbs. As time allows, we will be completing our acrostic poems for the "Me Front Page." Don't forget, each student needs to bring in an 8" x 10" picture for part of this project. The pictures will be returned to students as soon as this part of the project is completed!
- Reading - The students will be continuing their study of China. They will read together about the country's land, climate, and wildlife. Then they will independently research more about giant pandas. March Book Project - students should be reading their non-fiction books! Remember that this project is due Monday, March 23rd!
