February 28, 2013


Have a wonderful long weekend, everyone!  Be sure to get lots of rest and a great breakfast on Monday so you can do your best on DWA!  Here is a link to my last 6 square and essay that I modeled today in class, for those who wanted to review it!  :)

Homework: 
1) Math (unit 8 review): Redo any low scoring quizzes.  Good job on our Unit 8 test today!
2) Read 20 minutes & get it signed--shooting for 100%
3) Missing work!

Items of Business: 
*Class Store: If you have any extra soda, candy, trinkets, jewelry, or toys that you would like to donate to class store, please send it with your child! We would like to do one more often to serve as a motivator for positive behavior!
*Leadership Ropes Course Experience:  a flyer is going home today, but if you're interested, or have questions, email Mr. White at the Jr. High at Rwhite@providencehall.com.  It's $85 for June 10-14 or June 17-21.
