AIMS Testing
100% Attendance
Our class will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win $50.00 for a class party.

Living Biographies
The studens should have chosen a person to research for the biographies by now. They have
received the paperwork for the timeline, report, and bibliography. Each student must have two books for the report. They are asked to dress like the person they are researching but only if they already have the items at home. They are not expected to spend money on this project.

Homework
Homework packets will be going home again this week. The spelling words have been reduced to 10 words this week since there is no school on Friday.

Progress Reports
Progress reports will be going home soon. Please have your child practice multiplication facts everyday and complete the homework correctly as the homework is review of the necessary skills for 4th grade.
