Hope to See You at the Carvival Tonight

Yahoo!  Extra recess today!  I gave mercy to those who hadn't turned in their reading homework today because it was just too wonderful to see that beautiful sun again.  I must keep my word though....it they do not redeem themselves by reading over the weekend, NO MORE MERCY.  Enjoyment reading is a wonderful homework assignment to have.  Help your child find just the right book for them.

Thrilled to announce that EVERYONE in the class earned a movie from writing at least a full page on their Applied Skills Writing Test.  We will watch it as soon as everyone has taken their make-up tests.

Next Wednesday is our auction day.  I have some very rich Monarchs in here.  Hope they find some great deals.

Have a great weekend.

Monday Morning Math Applied Skills Test

I hope some of you find the ixl.com to be helpful in reviewing math skills.  I had hoped everyone would "conquer" several before Monday, but time is just too short.  One area we were reviewing was the W's that included converting different measurements.  If you have time, you might check out the site to see what you think.  I am rewarding those with notes from home saying the area and the score your child achieved.  (example  W-4  75 points.)  They do need to reach 75 before stopping to win rewards.  Please try to practice those areas that need the most work.

Have a great weekend.  See you a week from today at the carnival.
