MATH: 

We are finishing up our ISAT testing this week in math. We'll also be wrapping up our unit on statistics and completing a math lab. Are the blue M&Ms 26% of the package? 

If students have missing work, there is still time to get it turned in!

STEM: 

Hello! If your child was absent last week, please make arrangements for them to stay after school to take their Unit 4 Exam. This week we begin Unit 5, Electricity and Electric Circuits. We will be using Snap Circuits to explore electricity, if students choose to not be respectful, responsible or safe they will receive a 0 for the day and not be allowed to participate.  

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
