Reminders:
As stated on last week's blog, these are a few reminders concerning homework and classwork. Your child will lose points if they do not follow the directions stated below.
A. All work must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors will not be accepted) and pencil will not be accepted unless it is specified. Sloppy and crossed out work will not be accepted.
B. **Any 7th or 8th grade students that attend Title 1 Math or Reading during Social Studies, must hand in all homework assignments and get notes from another classmate, so they do not fall behind in their notes.
C. 7th and 8th Grade students will continue presenting their NHD projects this week.
D. All students in the 5th, 6th, 7th, & 8th grades should begin to review the vocabulary words in their reading notebooks for the Midterm Exams. Words will be checked off to study. They should also review skills that we have covered in class from their Word Study Book (5th grade), Practice Books (6th grades) or Skills Practice Books (7th & 8th grades). A midterm review for each class has been posted on the blog.
7th and 8th Grade students should start reviewing the notes in their Social Studies NBs for the Midterm Exams. These tests are cumulative from Sept.-Jan. A midterm review has been posted on the blog.
