SOCIAL STUDIES

On Monday, November 1, 2010, I will be sending home a

take home social studies project. It will be due on Thursday, November 4, 2010.

Please feel free to assist your child, but please make sure that they do

a majority of it on their own!  I want to see what they are capable of

accomplishing!

WE WILL HAVE A CHAPTER ONE TEST ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2010. I WILL SEND HOME THE BOOK NIGHTLY. PLEASE MAKE SURE IT COMES BACK EVERYDAY!!! THE TEST WILL BE OPEN BOOK!

In class, we will be reading Chapter 2, The People of Texas, 

Lessons 1 and Lesson 2.

As I said above, I will do my best to update this weekly and let you know what we are up too! We will probably have a math assessment on Unit 2 not this upcoming week, but the week after. We are super busy all the time, please make sure your kiddos are coming to school everyday!

Desperate Need!

First of all, A HUGE THANKS, to the parents who sent in pencils and glue sticks! That was such a huge help! I truly do appreciate any help I can get when it comes to the kiddos. With that being said...we are in desperate need of composition books! Can you believe that in the first 9 weeks we almost went through a whole composition book in science AND math??!! We are definitely hard at work! If you could even pick up one for us, that would be a huge help! I hope you know how much I appreciate all of your support!

Report Cards

Now that report cards have gone home and you have had a chance to look at them, please feel free to call me to set up a conference if you have any concerns. Also, I am not sure how it works, but I do know you can look up grades using the Home Access Center, https://esphac.killeenisd.org/homeaccess/. You should have received a login and password in the mail. If you did not receive this information in the mail, please contact the front office at 254-336-6660. I will do my very best to post grades at the end of each week. Please check your students grades often. This way, you can call me if you are concerned about a specific grade. Also, please remember that the only work I will send home are assessments. Your child's work will be kept in their composition books here in class. I am trying to create portfolios for your children of all the work they are that way they can also use the composition books to refer back to if they forget a concept. 

Please call me if you have any questions!
