Rainforest Animals

We are reading The Great Kapok Tree and learning about rainforests. As part of our rainforest study, each student is researching a rainforest animal using encyclopedias and other resources. While computers will not be used at school, they may be used at home for more information.

Wikipedia is also a great source of information.

Snow Alert

The weather forecast is not looking good as far as school being in session over the next couple of days. If we are at school on Thursday, I will send home the Friday folder report tomorrow in the event that school is canceled on Friday. Just in case we are not in school either day, next week's important information was shared with students today so they could write the upcoming events in their planners. If we are not at school on Friday, the spelling test will be postponed until the next school day, and the science poster will be due on the next school day for those who have not already turned it in.

Next Week
1/11: Social Studies test (ch. 4); Practice Reading Ohio Achievement Test
1/12: Math test (multiplication)
1/13: Practice Math Ohio Achievement Test
1/14: Science test (processes that change the Earth)
1/15: Literature Project due (informational nonfiction); Reward Movie (for students with no behavior infractions and no missing work)

January 15 is the end of the grading period so all missing work needs to be turned in before that day.
