Good Morning!

We hope everyone had a nice weekend and enjoying the slightly warmer temperatures.  The students were beyond thrilled that they got to play outside yesterday for recess!

This week in...

Spelling:  Lesson 20.  This lesson are words with ie and ei which can be a little challenging so for spelling this week and next we are going to be doing something a little different.  This week the entire spelling workbook is due but we will only be testing the first 10 words (the list on page 82) on Friday.  Next week there will be no spelling workbook and we will test the last 10 words (11-20) on Thursday, January 23rd.

4th LA: VERBS! Linking helping, main, irregular

5th LA: Verbs and working on president reports

4th SS:  We are beginning our next region- the Midwest.  We will start Chapter 8 this week but on Thursday and Friday we will be completing our preliminary rounds of the Geography Bee.  Also any Southeast letters that were not turned in by Monday will receive 10% off of the final grade

5th SS:  The Almanacs are due today!  So far the projects that have been turned in are wonderful! We have a Chapter 6 MC only test on Wednesday (no short response or vocab) and then will complete the preliminary rounds of the geography bee on Thursday and Friday
