Good morning! Mark your calendars…our special menu dates have been set! Burnette’s homeroom will be March 5th at 10:40 and Mitchell’s homeroom will be March 19th at 10:40. On these days, family members are invited to come join their student for a special lunch. Please do not send money for lunch in advance. The register will open at 10:40 for visitors to pay. Adult lunch is $3.40 and children are $1.60. We will send home RSVP forms closer to the date. In Science, we are beginning our new Life Science unit. We will be discussing life cycles of seed plants and animals. I have attached the PASS Coach that goes along with these lessons. We had initially planned to begin these lessons on Wednesday, however, I went ahead and did the first lesson today since we have the chance of bad weather. We are scheduled to attend Watershed tomorrow. I also went ahead and created a new lesson in Study Island on life cycles. In the event that we do have snow days and you experience cabin fever, please allow your children to go in and do the “Life Cycle Practice” lesson.

This goes right along with February being Black History Month and it also integrates with their Social Studies discussion of slavery and civil rights. If your child has been answering the SS Question of the Day on the news show, it will also help them answer one of the questions! http://www.brainpopjr.com/science/plants/georgewashingtoncarver/ In Math, we are happy to say that we have covered ALL standards for the year. At this point, we will begin going back and re-teaching/reviewing topics that we have already covered. This will be excellent PASS review! This week, we are working on telling time and mass/liquid volume, which is all part of the Measurement standards. The DREAM sheet is reflective of these topics, and since we have already taught them – I will collect DREAM sheets on Friday. (Or whenever we return) http://www.brainpopjr.com/math/time/timetotheminute/ http://www.brainpopjr.com/math/measurement/gramsandkilograms/ Students were given their new Multiplication log on Friday. These are due this Friday. Please let me know if you need a new copy. Dojo reports, newsletters, and graded test papers are being sent home today. Please sign them and return them tomorrow. Let us know if you have any further questions. Ms. Mitchell will follow later today with her information. Have a great day!
