Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone is safe and rests. Today I emailed students some Social Studies extra credit; it is the same as last time, current events. Due: December 8, 2014. We will not be completing another Social Studies topic until after Christmas break. From now until Christmas vacation we will be learning about Matter.

All grades have been updated!!! Yes! If you log onto PowerSchool, you should be able to view your child’s current average. Many papers were passed back today so if you have questions please check your child’s book-bag. 

It was nice to see all the parents at Awards Day!

Monday will be our test on the Revolutionary War and Branches of Government. All students have orange notes to study, as well as flashcards on quizlet. If you left after the awards today and did not take the states quiz, please come by early on Monday morning. 

Many students were missing their homework packets; they have had all week to complete so I am a little disappointed. Grades for Social Studies are updated on PowerSchool with the homework and quiz grades from today. 

Have a good weekend!

Christmas Party Updates!!!! 

We were unaware that Dec. 19 is an early release day. Therefore, we are making the party a Christmas Brunch. I have updated the times and list of items for everyone. Please sign up is available.

Food Drive- Just a reminder that our Food and Toiletries Drive starts today.  We are collecting items during homeroom through the end of the week.  All donations will go to local families

For this week, I will be absent on Wednesday and Thursday. When I am gone, I expect students to be on their best behavior for the substitute. Homework this week is the packet that is due Friday and there will be a quiz on the Southern states also on Friday. 

In all, we are getting very close to Turkey Day! Yay

I hope everyone had a nice mini-vacation. We started the Revolutionary War today in Social Studies and we will be on this topic until Thanksgiving break. For this week there will be no homework besides study. On Friday, I will give students their next set of states to learn and there will be a quiz next week.

Report Cards will also go home this Friday!

Thanks,

Mrs. Fail

Hi all,

I don’t know about everyone else, but this cold weather is rough! As we look forward this week, please remember we have an early release (11:45) on Friday. For this reason our Weather Test will be on Thursday.  Flashcards and extra credit (current events) are due Wednesday.  Just a reminder that Nov. 6 is the LAST day of the 9 week grading period! Wow, I cannot believe it has come so quickly. So, this means if any work is not turned in by then, it will be a zero.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

Mrs. Fail

***On the notes, I added the definition for Weather Station. A weather station is any place that uses weather tools to collect data and observe weather. The news centers, schools and maybe even your house are all examples of weather stations. ****
