A REGULAR DAY??!!! Wowser!!!

Well, it's about time!  Just as usual, 5B is showing their amazing ability to stay focused and be fabulous when it comes to jumping right back into the swing of things.

What happens when we have a FULL, REGULAR day of school, I ask???  Well, here's the answer!
5B students finish their reading assessments with higher scores than they've had all year:)
5B students rock with their finished inquiry projects!
5B students begin publishing their global newspaper in Tech Class.
5B students attend MATH again!  (Finally!)
5B students meet up with their mentors again:)
5B students prove their knowledge of the American Revolution and challenge their classmates to a nasty game of online Scrabble!

Whew!?  I'm tired just writing all of it:)

I'll keep it short, but here are some reminders for this week (and a couple for next week):

Tuesday:  Conferences - 1-hour early out - students be sure to COME - Kids told me that all of the times I had scheduled will stay the same:)  Excited to see the kids show off more of their presenting skills!
Wednesday:  HUGE CHANGE... I JUST GOT an EMAIL announcing that there WILL BE A FULL DAY OF SCHOOL on Wednesday, February 26.  The teacher in-service is cancelled.  

Next Tuesday:  NO SCHOOL - HS Girls' Basketball Team goes to state - ask about chartered busses taking fans down to the games.  There is a cost for students ($20) and adults ($30).  Contact the office for more details.

I'll know you checked the blog if you can come up with some words for our Scrabble game we started in social studies class today.  Here's a screen shot of what the board looked like when we ended.  Our next 2 sections are...  Section 4: Battles- Victories and Losses and Section 5:  Declaring Independence. If you need to come up with new words from your group's list, no problem!  Just see what you can do!

Get those brains a-thinking!  Maybe a little treat/snack for those who put in the extra effort:)
