Dear Parents and Students,
It was so nice seeing all of you at STEAM night last night. Thank you to those of you who stopped by our grade level project on electricity and circuits. It was nice to visit with all of you. A huge congratulations to Aditya, Mahathi and Siyona from our class. Their science fair projects have been selected to move on to regionals. Way to go! I look forward to seeing you all tonight at our Geography Bee. It will begin at 5:30! School Supplies: Now that we've made it half way through the year, some of the students supplies have dwindled down (ie. pencils, glue sticks, erasers...) Please check with your child to see if any of their supplies need replenishing. Thank you! Reading Log: We will be completing the library Six Flags and Schlitterbahn Reading Incentives for our reading logs. As always, I promise the students that if I add more to their plate (Night Writes) I will try to take something off (detailed reading log). I really want to hold to the 40mins a night homework policy. The reading log form was placed in their Homework Folder on Tuesday. Students are to read nightly and complete BOTH forms. The six hours for the Six Flags ticket can be used for 6 of the 10 hours for the Schlitterbahn ticket. Please make sure you sign each form. Night Writes: Nigth Writes were explained in depth on Thursday. Your child should circle their expository prompt choice, complete a brainstorming page, 4 square plan, rough draft (revising and editing also), and a final copy. Parents are encouraged to help their child, but please do not write the composition. Your initials are required on the final draft. Night Writes are due January 30th but are accepted prior to that date. Units of Study: Reading: Complete Traditional Literature and There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom Spelling: Unit 10 Writing: Expository Writing, Editing and Revision practice Math: Subtracting Fractions and Mixed Numbers TX History: The Texas Revolution Upcoming Dates: January 13th- Geography Bee 5:30 pm January 16th- MKL Holiday January 17th- Science Fair Projects due no later than 8 am January 21st - UIL district meet hosted at Canyon Creek! Enjoy the long weekend! Virginia
