Week of January 23rd

This week in science we will finish up our study of sedimentary rocks and begin learning about metamorphic rocks. Students will be learning about characteristics that can be used to identify each type of rock. It looks like the test will be next week- either Tuesday or Thursday, depending on how far we get early this week. I will keep everyone posted about the official test date and study group dates and times as well.

This Friday is a 25 cent hat day!

Please be sure that you are periodically checking your child’s agenda. This is a great habit for them to develop for next year.

Clubs/Activities this week:

Tues- Xtreme Readers, Hot Cocoa Cafe

Wed- Running Club, Shooting Stars

Thurs- TALES

Have a great week!

Week of January 16th

This week in science students will learn about the characteristics of igneous and sedimentary rocks. Students will learn to classify and identify unknown rock samples using the characteristics we learn about in class. Also, be sure to check out the science resources page- I’ve added some new and helpful sites under “Strand 5: Earth’s Systems.”

Clubs/Activities this week:

Tuesday- Xtreme Readers, Hot Cocoa Cafe

Wednesday- Running Club

Thursday- Craft Club, Tales

Friday- Bravo Club

 

Have a great week!

Week of January 9th

This week in science, students will learn about the rock cycle. As part of the lesson, students will take a trip through the rock cycle, documenting their journey in the form of a comic strip. We will then move on to learn about the formation processes and identifying characteristics of each type of rock, beginning with igneous rock, late in the week.

The very popular “Smencils” are back. Smencils and bookmarks will be on sale, before school, beginning Wednesday. They are $1 each.

First Semester Honors Assembly will be this Thursday at 2:50 pm. Students who have perfect attendance and/or who are on the honor roll will be recognized.

REMINDER: Next Monday, January 16th there will be NO SCHOOL.

Have a great week!
