Hooray! We have completed our first full week of school and everyone is adjusting beautifully! Our team was even chosen to be the first model for our fire drill last Thursday! We have been working on baseline testing and will continue this week with makeups and the science baseline.

Hopefully, we will resume with being able to share goodies very soon! Thank you for your understanding and support in this matter.

Math:  We will be working with decimals this week.  We will work with decimals in standard form, expanded form, and word form.  We will also compare decimals using our prior knowledge of place value.  We will finish the week by rounding decimals.

Science:  We will complete the science baseline on Monday and Tuesday of this week.  This test is to see how much science knowledge your child already has, we will then use this data to prepare and instruct any deficits.  Then we will continue our studies of the scientific method.  Students can expect to have a science quiz on this topic on Friday
