Extra Extra Read All About It!!

Update
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a great break and you are refreshed and ready to work hard this quarter! We have a lot happening and I need everyone to put forth their best effort on everything we do.
We are starting several new units this quarter. We are beginning to read The City of Ember. Please make sure you are keeping up on your reading and bring your book to school daily! We are also starting a poetry unit! This will last throughout the month of January. We will be concluding the unit by creating hardback books and having a class poetry night on Wednesday, January 25, 2012. Mark your calendars now!
We are also starting our science fair projects. Tomorrow your student will be coming home with the thick packet of information. Do not get overwhelmed by this project. We will be working to complete each component together step by step. There will be a timeline of due dates in the packet. This project will require both work at home as well as in class. Make sure to review the packet with your family. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE! This project is a large part of your science grade for the quarter.
Attending school on a daily basis and arriving on time is very important. We are in the school wide program that will reward our class with a popcorn party when we have everyone here and on time for ten days! We need to get our attendance rate higher.
This quarter we are beginning to be stricter with enforcing the rules. Make sure your student is turning their work on time, following directions, and putting forth their best effort at all times! Also, encourage your student to correct missed answers. This will give them the opportunity to learn what they did not understand the first time and get more points while doing so.
