This week

This week B track is going of track. C track is coming back on. This weed we have been taking a lot of test. We took a math test, a science test, (B track only) and we have taken a social studies test. We have had a lot of assembly's in this past week, we had the Orchestra Concert, the 3rd Grade Program, and our readers theater assembly for grades 3-6. There were a lot of great stories at the last assembly. The principle has decided to give treats to the grade that is the most quiet and the best behaved during the assembly. 6Th Grade has won twice. The second one was a three way tie though. We really aren't the best behaved students but I guess that we were better than all the other student/ grades. I am going to miss being in school but I hope you all have a good off track and a Merry Christmas.

This week is red Ribbon Week and we are all learning to say NO to drugs.
D track is learning about changing a decimal to a precent, changing a precent to a decimal, changing a precent to a fraction, changing a fraction to a precent, and changing a fraction to a decimal.

This month so far has been so much fun. D track came back on and it is Red Ribbon Week for D.
This week we have had two wounderful substitutes. They are Mrs. Mously, and Mrs. Forman.
In social studies we are learning about Ancient rome. And in science we are learning about heat.
In math A and B are learning integers and D is changing things to precents, decimals, and fractions. We are learning really cool things thanks to Mrs. Stavros. She makes the year better than any other year that we have ever had.

New School Year!

I think by now we can all agree that Mrs. Stavros is pretty much the Best teacher we've had in all elementary. She is super nice, (well apart from all that "on ya" and "Grrrr" stuff,) :).

These last two weeks we've been busy with:

• Name Art & Fortunately & Unfortunately stories
• Mountain Math, Prime & composite, Fractions, decimals, scientific notation. (I could go on and on!)
• Spelling units 1 and 2 (see Stavros web page)
• Geography Dictionaries, Continents & Oceans
• The Terrestrial Planets, and the birth of our solar system

Let's try to make this our best year yet!
