We are closing in on the end of our 2nd quarter. This Friday, January 27th to be exact.
    Tomorrow, Tuesday January 24th we will start our OLPA testing for Math. This is just a way to gauge where students are at and what needs to be addressed before we take MCA's later this year.
     Our reading focus this week will be Cause and Effect. We will also be wrapping up our Book Club by this Friday. That way, the students will be able to AR test on their book to help make it closer to their AR goal. Reminder that it is a part of their reading grade to achieve their AR goal.
     For math, we are going to continue to work on division. We are moving on to division with decimals with a test sometime next week.
     We are plugging along with Social Studies and the Early Explorers. The kids really seemed intrigued by this chapter and the people. It is interesting to learn what happened so long ago and how it affects us today.
     Our spelling test will be this Friday. They have had the words for 2 weeks. Please encourage your child to study at home. This is the last spelling test for this quarter.
     Book orders are due January 31st, which is a week from tomorrow.
     We will have an Early Release this Wednesday, January 25th. Students are dismissed at 12:50 with buses leaving at 1:00pm.
Have a great week!
