Dear Families,
We are all so glad that the state writing assessment is over! The kids really seemed to feel confident, so that is fantastic news!
We are going on a field trip this week - be sure your child has turned in his or her permission slip for that. We are going to Elachee to learn more about animals in the local area. The folks at Elachee have created a fun new hands-on program! We are going in two groups. My homeroom is going from 9 am til 11 am with students in Mrs. Weiser's and Ms. Denly's homerooms. That afternoon, students will watch Remember the Titans. You have already signed a permission silp for that :)
School Events
Tues, 3/11 My homeroom library visit; Civil Rights poster "quiz"
Thurs, 2/13 Field Trip to Elachee, 9 am
Fri, 2/28 Modern America social studies test; Middle Eastern Conflicts maps due
SOCIAL STUDIES

This is our last week studying modern American issues. We will be studying the following topics:
*All students will get typed notes for this unit. We are moving very quickly through this era as we get closer to the CRCT.
LANGUAGE ARTS
All informational essays are due Monday, March 10th. Students have also been working on the Young Georgia Author's contest, and those entries are due Monday as well.
We pushed off Shurley English to allow students more time to work on their essays. Mr. Bryan will begin teaching Chapter 12 of Shurley English! We will test next Tuesday. Our main focus will be on pronouns and their antecedents, as well as a review of patterns 1-4.
