Great job to all of the Sweetheart Stroll participants and to the Science Olympiad competitors!  We had a great showing at both.  Here is what we are studying this week:

We are taking Benchmark Exams this week and the schedule is as follows:
Monday: Reading
Tuesday: Math
Wednesday: Science

These benchmarks are not a grade but the students need to do the best that they can.  We use the data to see where they are still struggling so we can adjust our teaching to meet the gaps.

Math: We are finishing up volume of rectangular prisms and will be starting our unit on 3-D shapes. We have another area/perimenter/volume test on Wed. morning.

Science: We have assigned our "Adaptations" projects and the students will be given the requirements today.  They are to be done at home and won't be due until Feb. 23rd. We will be studying adaptations all week.

Social Studies: We are finishing up the Industrial Revolution and will be testing over it on Tuesday.

ELAR: We are finishing up our first persuasive writing piece and will be doing some practice reading passages this week.

Our Valentine's Day party will be from 8-9 am on Friday and don't forget that it is an early release day at 11:30.
