We have our Chapter 2 Social Studies test on Thursday-- your student has a study guide in his/her pendaflex. Textbooks may go home any day you'd like.

Our Chapter 6 Math Test is on Friday --- we are reviewing data collection and making frequency tables to show running totals. The BIG concept of Ch. 6 is understanding mean, median, and mode. Please review the vocabulary and samples at harcourtschool.com. (Link is on the right------>)

In class, students are completing their personal narratives. We will grade these in-class on Friday. The writing samples are not homework, although some students have asked to bring a copy of their work home on a flash drive.

We have a Chapter 4 math test scheduled for Friday -- please review your student's Ch. 4 math sheets, and use the online math book at harcourtschools (see link on sidebar to right) for extra help.

Also, we are testing Chapter 1 in S.S. - your student has a review sheet in his/her S.S. notebook. We are focused on the regions of Missouri.

Your child was asked to bring a shoebox to school so we can create dioramas of Missouri in class. This is not a homework assignment.
