Parents,
I hope everyone is feeling better as we approach February! We are getting low on tissue, if you could please donate a box, our class would appreciate it! Also, I sent an email out late Sunday night asking for you to send in your scholars headphones that we used for our last math test on the computers. If you could please send those in again by Tuesday, the 31st, we will be taking the test again. Lastly, please send in a composition book for our writing and grammar. I would like to keep writing and grammar in one spot instead of multiple papers through out our folders. Upcoming events: January 31st - Math Benchmark test on the computer February 10th - Half Day (No lunch, Pick-up at 12:00) February 20th - No school February 28th - Jump Rope for Heart This week: There will be 30 spelling words this week. Please complete the markings on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday for homework. Markings are not required on Thursday. In math, we will continue to learn more addition mental math strategies. There will be a quiz on Thursday. We will begin subtraction mental math strategies on Friday. In history, we will continue to study American History. There will be a quiz this Friday. In literature, we will read chapters 12 and 13 in Stuart Little. There will not be a quiz this week. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you for your continued support! Erin Bejarano

Parents,
How are we already in the last week of January? This quarter is flying by! Upcoming events: January 27th - Spirit Day January 31st - Math Benchmark test - Please send in a pair of headphones in a ziploc bag with his or her name on it. This test will be taken on the computer. February 3rd - Science Night February 10th - Half Day - 12:00 dismissal This week: We will have 30 spelling words. Please complete markings on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Markings are not required on Thursday. Please study phonograms 1-70 nightly as well. In math, we will begin mental math strategies for addition and subtraction. We will use the strategy of making ten and making one hundred. An example for making ten would sound like this: 256 + 9 = ____ I should take one from 256 and add it to the 9 to make 10. Then I add the 10 to 255 to make 265. An example of making one hundred would sound like this: 497 + 13 = _____ I should take three from 13 to make 500 and add the remaining ten to make 510. There will be a quiz on Friday. In science, we will review on Tuesday and have a final physics test on Wednesday. Please study notes accordingly. We will begin a new history unit on Thursday.

Upcoming events: - January 16th - No school - January 27th - Spirit Day - January 30th - poem recitations begin This week: - Scholars will receive a new poem to memorize: Windy Nights.

Erin Bejarano [email protected] Our first full week back is a busy one! I wanted to give you a few more details about project night, this Wednesday! Please have your scholar dress up as their assigned Historical Figure. Scholars need to be back on campus at 5:50 Wednesday night, in their costumes. Scholar were given class time to rewrite their summarizes in first person format. They will read from these "scrolls" Wednesday night during project night. So no need to worry about them memorizing their summaries, unless they choose to. Also please see last weeks email about dress code for project night.
Speaking of dress code, a friendly reminder that shoes must be ALL black or ALL white. No converse or shoes with marking are allowed. Also no boots. Shirts must have the patch along with sweaters or jackets in the classroom. If a scholar needs a heavier jacket they can only be worn outside per school policy. Mr. Scott will be coming in to remind the scholars of appropriate uniform attire soon. Please let me know if you have any questions!
