Wear Red on Thursday

Thursday is wear red day.  We will pass out Valentine's in the morning.  If your child wants to bring in Valentine's for the class, he/she must have one for each student. A list of student names was sent home today. We will have a small party. I will provide the sweet treat.

States and Capitals

Even though we are in the middle of our Science unit on Magnetism and Electricity, students should still be reviewing the Northeast and Southeast States and Capitals.  All state and capital quizzes will be cummulative.
