Tuesday - Spelling test on Thursday

We learned a little about Anne Frank today. We read a short excerpt from her diary. Then we talked about how racism can hurt many people. We reviewed our spelling and vocabulary words, but we will not have the pre-test until Thursday. Those who don't get 100% will take it again on Friday.

In math we were evaluating how to recognize if the sum of two fractions would be greater than one, equal to one, or less than one. Students who did not finish today's assignment are required to do it for homework. It is due at the start of class tomorrow.

In Social Studies we learned about the problems Native Americans had when the settlers came in. We talked about how ideas and values have changed, but that we shouldn't judge people long ago by our ideas of right and wrong.

The school's Hoedown is coming on Friday. Please find the orange paper that your child brought home today to understand what is happening that evening. All the money earned is to be used for the field trips this year. Other funding just isn't there. It should be a lot of fun. If you have something for the auction, you can bring it into Amy or bring it that night. If you would rather just give some money, I am sure that would happily accepted too.
