no school I am extending it until March 2nd

Greek word parts. Study !
Social Studies We are studying the Revolutionary
War. We studied the Boston Massacre, The Boston
Tea Party and the Intolerable Acts this week (just to
name a few!) We will review for a test next week.
Science We have begun Unit 4. We are discussing
our environment and how living and nonliving things
can impact the environment we live in. We are also
studying food webs.

ISTEP
Is next week. The class would love it if you
could send in some healthy snacks to keep our
brain functioning! Send me a note if this is
something you are willing to help with.

Note From the Teacher:

ISTEP will begin on Monday. Please send your child rested with a good breakfast so that he or
she can do their best work. Try your best!
I sent home Camp Amigo chaperone letters. As we begin planning our big trip to Camp
Amigo on April 14 & 15 we need to start signing up chaperones to go along with us.
A background check must be on file, and we must give Camp Amigo our numbers in
March. For these reasons, we need to find out how many parent chaperones we will
be taking with us. If you are interested in attending, please fill out the chaperone
form and return it with your child as soon as possible. Look for more information to
be coming home within the next month regarding our trip.
