September 16th- 20th

*Please email michelle.navarro@olmlancers.com with any questions/concerns

Please make sure you have looked over and signed progress reports.  Also remind students to find any missing assignments and turn them in.  If they can't find them, they need to ask me for a copy.  If there isn't a grade listed and no missing assignment list attached, the missing assignments were likely turned in after grades were due.  There is room for improvement, that's the most important thing. Please continue to make sure they are turning in their class work/homework on time, studying, and trying their best!  As always, homework assignments are circled daily in their planners.  Keep checking their homework folders, and sign their planners everyday.  

Our class/test schedule is always listed each week, but a rough test schedule is below:

Religion- Chapter Reviews on Fridays
Math- Chapter Test around every 3 weeks
Language Arts- Spelling tests every Friday.  Reading comprehension, vocab, and grammar tests are bi-weekly.  We spend 2 weeks on a lesson, so if we start a story, tests will be the following week.
Social Studies- Weekly Assessment on Fridays
Science- Chapter tests around every 3 weeks

Homework help will be on Tuesday and Wednesday @ 2:30pm

Congratulations to team China!  They won for the 2nd time!!  Way to go and keep up the good work!  New seating chart/groups started on Monday.  Let's reach our class goal of 300 points!!
