It will be at 6:00pm in the Library.

Hope to see you there!

Hello All!

In case of snow day(s), please see your student's agenda for their homework for the week. We wrote in everything for the week so they knew what was coming up. Assuming we have a snow day or several, please have your student do the following:

Tuesday (1 snow day)
- Do SOL Vocab Tuesday Homework, Quiz will be Friday

- Study for Rome Test (test on Wednesday) -- Also, there are games/info here on my blog to practice Rome concepts (see sidebar to the right)

- Work on Critter Can animal (due March 28th)

- Do Reflex Math and/or any homework your math teacher gave you

- MY MATH CLASS: Math test will still be on Friday, 3/17



Wednesday, or More (2 or more snow days)

- Do all SOL Vocab homework for whatever days are missed - Quiz will still be Friday or next day in school

- Study for Rome Test - test will be Thursday or next day in school

- Work on Critter Can animal (this is due March 28th)

- Math: Do Reflex math and/or any homework your math teacher gave you

- MY MATH CLASS: Math test will be moved a day for each snow day. So, if we are out Wednesday, our test will be Monday. If we are out Thursday, our test will be Tuesday, etc.


Please see the snapshot here of our agenda, in case any students didn't write something down:

Please email me with any questions! Enjoy the snow!

SOL Vocab Homework

Hello All!

 

Just a friendly reminder that we are no longer doing Word Study - this week your student has an SOL Vocab List of words to practice. They will NOT need to know how to SPELL the words! They DO need to know what the words mean, be able to give an example of the word or use it in a sentence, and answer questions about it. 

 

The quizzes will be on Fridays, like Word Study. You may have noticed the homework packet in their home folder today. This is their homework for the week - all directions are in it. They will get a new list and homework packet each week. Please keep the homework and flashcards in their folder to be returned to school every day. 

 

Please let me know if you have questions about this. 

 

Other notes:

-Family Book Fair Night is tomorrow in the Library!

-BYOT on Friday

-Interims to go home Wednesday, 3/8, via email

-Ancient Rome test will be on Wednesday, 3/15 

 

Best,

Ms. Strong :)
