Welcome Back Track 2 - We have missed you!

Scholars -  Welcome Back! We have missed you! We hope that you really enjoyed your time off and if you were here, we hope that you were able to play in the snow.  It was great snow for making a snowman.  You will notice that you have science vocabulary words this week.  You will be learning the definitions in class.  You will not need to write a story with the words(unless you would like to be creative) but you will need to show in your sentence that you know what the word means in context.  Write the definitions in your own words – that will help you to remember the definitions.  Also, please be mindful that your UNRAAVEL article answers need to be in COMPLETE sentences.  Your work will not be considered complete this week if you do not put more effort into them.

We will be having CASE 21 in a 18 school days – let’s buckle down and ask questions and learn what we need to learn to be successful in quarter 3! We challenge you to have the most improved scores in 5^th grade! Are you up for the challenge? If you are up for the challenge talk with Kid Gov and give them ideas as what you would like as an incentive if you win this challenge.  We were about 67% in quarter 2 – I like the sound of 85% - YOU CAN DO IT – YOU ARE ALL BRILLIANT!

Parents -  Welcome back! We hope that you enjoyed the break! We should be getting our track 2 shirts delivered soon, thank you to each of you that donated money for other s to get a shirt.  Thank you Ms. Missy for organizing for us.   You will notice that you can purchase a yearbook until 3/27 and Spring Pictures are on 3/18.  We have 3 more weeks until the end of the quarter so let’s work really hard to finish quarter 3 with exceptional scores! Encourage your child to watch the videos to help them understand any objectives that they may feel unclear with.  Encourage them to play any of the games listed on the website.  This is a fun way to enforce different language arts topics.
