First Week of School

The students seem to enjoy the fast paced day.  We have been learning about the three Grand Divisions in Social Studies, experimenting with the Scientific Method in Science, and parts of speech in english. The students will be reviewing place value in Math starting Thursday.  We plan on having a Chapter 1 Social Studies test next week.  Look for a study guide in your child's yellow folder. Please turn in all beginning of the year forms by Friday, August 5th.  Don't forget about the skating forms and money.
