Thanks for trying to read the BLOG each day!  Again, I noticed that Tuesday's blog did not register.  That is why it is also important for students to fill out agendas correctly and bring home their work.

Thursday, Jan. 22

1.  Holes vocabulary project is due Monday. Students have been told that I am OK with them having a peer or a parent check over their work before handing in for a letter grade. I am also OK with anyone typing the project if anyone is  able. Obviously, it is more beneficial if the student types it, but since they are not being marked on their typing abilities, it does not matter to me who types it.  Each of the words is worth 4 points...2 for definition and 2 for sentence.  Being comprehensive and accurate is important, as I explained to the students.

2.  Math quiz #3 on division Friday.  Harder division questions start Monday, along with short division lessons.  It is very important that kids who are slow on their multiplication really go at studying in next couple weeks!  This is so important to their division and to their confidence and motivation in Math for the rest of their life.

3.  Skating is not until Feb. 7th (with Mrs. A) and Feb. 19th (with Mrs. Kossey).  However, here are the drivers. If you have to cancel, it looks like tere are a couple extra drivers for each trip; just make sure you call and let me know. Thanks!  Feel free to skate with us! Kids will be able to play hockey with a felt puck; sticks will need to go in a parent's car.

Wednesday, Feb. 19th:  Nessman, Armstrong, Carnovale, Day, maybe Downey, Facchinelli, Lewis, Raghaven, Saunders and Shyiak.
