The holidays are fast approaching and I can tell everyone is excited!

Make sure you have all of your journals up to date for writing. The end of the marking period will be here before you know it and you want to make sure your journal is in great shape. I have all of the journals written down if you have missed some.

Your book reports are due on January 4, 2008 (in 2 more weeks). Please follow the format that was handed out; it may cost you points if you do not follow it.

There will be a quiz in Reading next week on the story that we are reading from Elena. Remember to study your vocabulary words and the spelling of them. I am proud of you guys for the great scores on the last quiz! Keep it up!

In Math, you will have a quiz Friday, December 14, 2007 on Mean, Median, Mode, and Range. I know you guys will do great.

In Social Studies, we have just started Chapter 3 on Mayan and Aztecs. It is important for you to make sure that you are completing your guided reading worksheets. If you study those for every quiz and tests, you will do fine! Also remember to turn in your guided reading worksheets after every chapter test so you can get credit for them.

In Science we are still learning about seeds and flowers. Keep your composition book up to date because it is a GREAT tool for studying (hint, hint).

In Physical Education, we have finished our unit on basketball. In Health, we are learning about self image!

I hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys their holiday break!

Lets all think WHITE CHRISTMAS!

December is here!

Well we are almost to the middle of the 2nd marking period.. Thats right, progress reports will be coming out December 11!

Please make sure that you do not owe any work! If you do, we only have a couple of days to get it turned in.

There is a reading quiz on Tuesday.. make sure you STUDY! The quiz will cover the story we just read, Dragon's Pearl, and the new vocabulary words.

In Social Studies, we are well into Chapter 2 on Africa. We are currently on Section 3 and will be taking a quiz on it next week. The Africa Book that you made should have been turned in, please make sure it was.

In Math, we have just finished multiplying and dividing fractions and mixed numbers. Remember: you must have a notebook with paper and a pencil in class. It is now a requirement to take notes in class. It is definitely to your benefit since you were able to use your notes on the last quiz.

I hope everyone has a great week!
