Hope everyone had a great weekend!  Here is what we are focusing on this week:


Math: We are finishing up two dimensional figures and will be taking a Module 11/Post-Test on Wednesday.  We will be starting frequency tables and categorical data on Thursday.

Science: Science Adaptation projects were due today.  They are 10 points off for every day they are late.  Thank you for all that finished projects and brought them in today.  I am so excited to see the creativity during our presentations today.  We are studying about inherited traits this week.

Social Studies: We are finishing up the Causes of the Civil War this week and will have a History Alive Ch. 18 quiz on Wednesday. On Thursday we will be starting Ch. 19, the Civil War.

ELAR: We are discussing types of media in Reading this week.  We will also be finishing up this nine weeks' book clubs.  Please sure your students are reading 20 min. per night in order to meet their AR goal.  We will be doing our 2nd composition this Thursday and it will be a cold write: the students will be given a prompt and will have 4 hours to complete their compositions.

***This Friday is “Go Texan” day in the Greater Houston Area as we prepare for the upcoming rodeo season. Our students are welcome to participate that day, and we look forward to seeing all of the cowboys and cowgirls that day!

*** It is that time of year again for the “Pennies for Patients” coin drive where we raise money in order to help the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, hopefully find a cure soon.  In 2012, Huggins Elementary raised $2,661.75!
Our drive will be for 8 days only - February 23-March 4th, so start looking for coins in the couch!

***Book fair preview begins this week and students will be able to purchase books next week. Due to the book fair the library will be closed. Make sure your child has something to read from home, the public library, or they can select something from my classroom library.
