Hello All,

We finally get to enjoy some warm weather.  Yeah! 

On Tuesday, January 22nd, students are expected to have chosen a "Famous American" and located a book about their person. The written book report is due on Friday, February 1st.  After students hand in the book report, we will further research their subjects, and prepare speeches in class.  We will give you plenty of advance notice before the speeches are due.

This week's Homework Packet is a review list.  It is formatted a little differently from the regular pages, but there are no new words to study.  Please be sure your child completes the packet, including the reading log.  They may note their biography, books they're reading for pleasure, or any other reading material on the log.

On Tuesday, we will wrap up our Geometry Unit and move into division.  Students will find it very handy to know their multiplication facts when they tackle this subject.  Please continue to practice the facts daily!

Our next field trip is scheduled for Friday, March 15th. We will be heading to the Santa Cruz MAH, to learn about local history.  This is an interesting, hands-on field trip.  I will send the permission slips home in early February.

Take care, and enjoy the weekend!
