Welcome to February.  Where does the year go?!  It looks like the fifth grade service project was a success.  The kids worked hard and collected a lot of crayons.  I'll have more information when the totals are in.

SCIENCE-We studied the skeletal and nervous systems last week and we will be working on the muscular and respiratory systems this week.

ADVANCED MATH-The Unit 5 test was last week.  We began Unit 6 which is a study on integers and coordinate planes.

The book fair is this week.  Your child will have opportunities to visit.  We preview it on Tuesday.  Please feel free to send money so that your child may purchase books.

​Have a great Dolphin week!

I hope you all had a great extra-long weekend!  There will no spelling, grammar, or vocabulary this week.  

ADVANCED MATH-The Unit 5 test is planned for this Friday.  We will be reviewing Wednesday and Thursday.  If the kids need more review, we can put the test off until Monday.

SCIENCE-The kids made model limbs last week to show the different types of joints: hinge, ball and socket, fixed, and pivot. We will be doing some activities this week involving the nervous system.

READING-We begin our novel studies this week.  During small-group, the kids will be working on a revolutionary war novel at their reading level.  We will be meeting once or twice a week to discuss the novel and any questions.  During whole-group, we will start a unit on fiction.

Mrs. Lane would like me to remind you:
If your child has a younger sibling, or you know a neighbor eligible for kindergarten next year (The child must be five before September 1, 2016.) please call the office now to request a registration packet. Kindergarten registration day is February 9.

​Have a great Dolphin week!
