Scholars -    Remember “Think like a Middle Scholar”.  We really need you to think independently about what is due and when! Those of you still getting many reminders, we want you to challenge yourself to get HALF of those reminders and DOUBLE your success! You can do it! Help each other to stay on task.  We know that it is enjoyable to talk to your friends and we love that you have so many friendships BUT we are here to do a job so do it well!!  In the morning, you should 1. Read the SMART Board FIRST because that is where you are going to find what is expected with you during that time.  We have begun morning word problems and it is up to you to have the copied down and solved! This is what we are adding in so we can continue to work on the math objectives you struggled with as a class while moving forward with other objectives.  Write on the back of the sheet how you feel now about 5.NBT. 7.  Do you feel as though you know it consistently or inconsistently?  If it is inconsistently please add how WE can better help you so we can “fill that gap”.

Parents – Math Curriculum Night is this week on January 28^th with Mrs. P.F.  Please visit the Brassfield website and take the survey monkey if you are going to attend.  There is also free child care available.  If you have any questions please let us know. It is that time of the year for sickness, if you have any extra boxes of Kleenexes or Clorox wipes for the classroom, we would appreciate the donation as we are getting quite low.  THANK YOU for ALL of your contributions, they never go unnoticed or unused;).  We are beginning fractions on Monday and we will be working with them for weeks as it is approximately 50% of our End of Grade Test this year. We will send in our order for G5/T2 t-shirts by trackout on February 13^th.  We have had several families offer to buy a scholar a t-shirt and that has REALLY made some scholars day! They are very appreciative of that so thank you!  If you have any concerns or questions don’t ever hesitate to contact us and as always, thank you for your support! Stacy and Laura
