Memos on Math
Students have been
studying Ch. 6, Making
Graphs. Our test for this
was today. These graphing skills
will help your child as they
prepare the tables and graphs for
their Science Fair project. We
have used the netbooks in class
to practice making graphs.

are encouraged.
This quarter’s book project:
Students have been reminded
that while they read their nonfiction book this quarter, they
should be taking notes on what
they’re learning. They know
they will be creating a poster to
share with the class. Students
will receive their materials the
week of Feb. 20, with over 2
weeks to prepare their posters.
Posters and book logs are due

–ance and -ence endings, next

The Hype on History
This week we’ve studied Nat
Turner’s rebellion, the efforts
of Harriet Tubman on the
Underground Railroad, and
the growing differences
between the North and the
South. We also continue to
read and be moved by the
narrative of Frederick
Douglass.
SPECIALS NEXT WEEK:
Art is our special

Next week's saying is…..
