T.G.F.D. Graduation
Please remember that parents are invited to the Too Good For Drugs graduation ceremony on Friday, April 9 at 9:00 a.m. I am very proud of the students and their efforts during the T.G.F.D. program. I sincerely hope the students will keep the promises they have made to make good decisions and stay drug-free in the future!
Help Needed!
I need a few volunteers to help with our GeoSpace program scheduled for Tuesday, April 13 in our classroom from 8:15 - 9:15 a.m. No special skills are needed! Please email or call as soon as possible if you are interested.
Subject Update:
- Spelling - Lesson 28 focuses on combining Greek word parts to form words. Knowing the meaning of the word parts helps you understand the meaning of the words created from them.
- English - The students will continue working on their "Me Front Page" articles. The students will be visiting the computer lab to begin the publishing process as well.
- Reading - We will focus primarily on summarizing, and touch on the other reading strategies, as we continue our unit on China. Students will be given instructions about a final project - "Postcards from the Far East." This activity will be in place of the monthly reading project for April.
- Science - The students will continue to learn about the movement of the ocean.
- Social Studies - We will read about Washington taking command and some of his victories. This will include the famous story of Washington crossing the Delaware to lead a surprise attack on the Hessians in Trenton.
- Mrs. Strong's Math Class - We will learn about customary and metric units of measurement as we begin Chapter 22.
