We will be taking our field trip this Thursday to the VA. Beach Convention Center. Please pack a lunch for your child on that day.

We are still learning about the midwestern states. A capitals and states test will be this Thrusday.

We are finishing up with fractions in math and our test will be tomorrow Tuesday. My class has been doing a nice job with the fraction.

In science we are learning about electricity, and we will be doing some hands on activities with this.
The next due date for the science project is tomorrow. Thank you for those who have been on time with the first due date for the science project. Due dates are printed in the students science packet. Please help your child with this project, but don't do the project for them. It is easy to spot students whose parents basiclly did the project for their child, especially when the student has to get up and present their projct to the class.
I did not get around to check off behavior sheet today Mon Feb.22 because I ran out of time, but everyone received a green check today.

We have just completed our last assesment so if you have registered with the parent portal you can see how your child performed.
