Good morning!  It is that time of year when everyone ask, "Is winter over yet?"  Yes another chilly morning.

We have some exciting things happening in our classroom.

We will have our Valentine's Day party on Monday February 14th around 2 o'clock.  On Wednesday I sent home volunteer sheets and anything else that anyone would like to bring in to help.  As a homework assignment the students had to make their own Valentine's box.  They may also bring in valentines for their classmates.  (Everybody gets a Valentine!)

There is a math test today on unit 7 and we will begin unit 8 on Monday.  In unit 8 we will begin talking about fractions.

In science we have been continuing our study of motion.  In this unit, the experiments are all hands on and involve the students using their own discoveries to help guide their learning.

The Grosse Pointe School district uses a writing test to evaluate each students in writing.  We will be taking a practice test tomorrow and the evaluation will be in March at sometime.
