Week of January 17, 2011

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. The History Fair at OLQM will be held on Monday, 1/24. Anyone that is presenting should have their projects ready and a list of sources, including at least one primary source listed.

D. All students in the 5^th, 6^th, 7^th, & 8^th grades should 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 (5^th grade), Practice Books (6^th grades) or Skills Practice Books (7^th & 8^th grades). A midterm review for each class has been posted on the blog.

7^th and 8^th 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.

E. The Social Studies Exam will be given on Friday, 1/21 for Grades 5-8

The Reading Exam will be given on Tues, 1/25 for Grades 5-8
