Happy New Year! Thank you so much for your generosity during this holiday season! I hope everyone had a restful break and enjoyed your time with family and friends. We have a lot going on this month! 

     We will begin comprehesive exams on January 14. Students will be tested on material that has been covered in class. We will review all material before each test. The outlines for the exams are listed below. If there are any changes, I will let the class know and include it here.

    Students must have sharpened pencils and a silent reading book with them each day. In Math, we will be reviewing all material covered so far this year to prepare for the comprehensive test. After the test, we will work on increasing fluency in adding and subtracting and learning mental math strategies to fluently add and subtract. In Science, we will continue working on Chapter 2 and discovering what traits offspring can get from their parents. In SS, we will continue Chapter 4 and discover why immigrants came to the US and how they changed the communities they settled in.
