This first nine weeks has flown by!  I have enjoyed getting to know my "family" and seeing the growth occurring just in the first nine weeks!  They have all been working extremely hard.  Just a few reminders as the nine weeks comes to a close:

Math: We are finishing up division with decimals and whole numbers.  We are moving into fractions this week and will be talking about like denominators and adding and subtracting fractions using manipulatives.  Our math nine weeks assessment will be on Thursday.

Science: We are talking about "force" in science this week.  The students designed their own experiments last week and will be presenting them this week on the different ways they demonstrated how force can affect an object.  Our science nine weeks assessment will be on Wednesday.  They need to be working on the assignments in Stemscopes to use as a study guide.

Social Studies: We are discussing the Declaration of Independence this week and the events that led up to the Revolutionary War.  Our social studies nine weeks assessment will be on Thursday and the students need to review Ch. 1-13 on the History Alive site as well as their social studies journals.

ELAR: We are finishing up our second writing compositions this week and their final copies are due on Friday.

*Friday is an early release day: we will be dismissing at 11:30.
*Our Boosterthon Fun Run is Friday from 9:45 - 10: 45.  Thank you for all of the pledges and parents are welcome to come out and support their runners.  Please keep the pledges coming!  We are currently at $16/lap and our class goal is $80. The money raised will go towards a new sound system and various technological needs for the school!
*Parent/Teacher conference invites have been sent out via SignUp Genius.  You MUST meet with me face-to-face for a short 15 minute conference in order to receive your student's report card.
*Wednesday, Oct. 22nd is our Fall Picture Day.  It is a free dress day if you wish.

Thank you for everything you do for us and for the support you show Huggins! Have a great week!
