It was great to be back with the kids for a full day.  We had a lot to accomplish so we stayed busy all day!  Here are a few items from our day that you might want to be informed about.

1. Show what you know: This week we are reviewing all past words and word parts.  Students brought home a review packet tonight for homework.  There are hints in the back of the book.  If your child needs additional help you can also refer to all the past lesson packets that are still linked at the bottom of the Homework page.  Just look for attachments named "Lesson" 1-11

2. Going for the Gold with Compass Learning Challenge:  

I challenge students to complete as many Compass Learning tasks from their 12/2013 folders as they can before February 28. These tasks can be completed at school or home.

Every time they complete 3 tasks, they will get to color in one of their Olympic rings on the record sheet at school. If they complete 15 tasks, they will have completely filled in 1 set of Olympic rings.

1 set of Olympic Rings= Bronze Medal

2 sets of Olympic Rings= Silver Medal

3 sets of Olympic Rings= Gold Medal

Everyone that receives a medal will be invited to an Olympics Party in March. Let the games begin! Parents if you need some help getting onto Compass Learning at home, please refer to this Compass Learning Parent Guide.

3. An Interview with History - Even with all the interuptions, our projects are coming along quite nicely.  Students are now working on the scripts for their interview.  The interview outline is due Monday.  We will be recording all next week.
