ABSENT- I will be absent Tuesday and Wednesday. Nancy Koontz will be my substitute. I will be in Athens with Allison while she has surgery on her broken arm.
BIOGRAPHY BLAB- We discussed how Biography Blab will work. I gave the students a sheet that needs to be signed tonight. Ms. Koontz will check for signatures tomorrow and then the sheet is yours to keep. We discussed how to take notes today, and we set up our note cards. They will have time tomorrow and Wednesday for note taking also. Please practice the interview with your child at home. We WILL have Biography Blab on Thursday, January 27th. Please write the name of the person your child read about in the agenda.
MEDIA CENTER/RESEARCH-The students will be having two research lessons with Mrs. Harp this week. The lessons will help us get started on our Georgia animal research project. We will also be going to the computer lab this week to get started on our research.
BEHAVIOR- Our class is usually the best in the school. Unfortunately, they got in trouble for talking too much in Science Lab on Friday and in Art today. There has also been some name-calling in the cafeteria. Please talk to your child about appropriate behavior. I expect to get a wonderful note from Ms. Koontz when I return.
AR- Students need to earn 10 AR points this nine weeks. We are starting the third week of this nine week period. I’m not sure how the snow week is being counted, so it might actually be the fourth week. Make sure you are reading and earning AR points.
