🌷 Spring 🍀 Break 🌼

Hello and happy spring break! I hope you all are able to enjoy some quality family and friend time over the coming week! Be sure to rest, relax, and enjoy the weather!

March Madness has come into full swing, with the first official voting results today. The following novels have moved forward and have become our Elite 8: Where the Red Fern Grows, The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Ghosts, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Giver, The Lightening Thief, and Wonder. I highly encourage our students to read any of these 8 books that they have not already read over break. We will be voting on our Final Four books the Monday we come back from break so the more you know about the books, the more informed your vote will be!

I have posted the new spelling and vocabulary words in case anyone gets anxious and would like to take an early peek at them over break. Weekly math will come with the students on the Monday back from break in hopes of eliminating and lost packets over break.
After break we will begin our final science kit: Diversity of Life, as well as new reading an writing projects. We will continue working with dividing fractions in math before moving on to our next topic of study.

One last note: if you have a planner but it is not at school yet, please be sure to bring it with you on Monday. We will begin to look at it as a tool and start to compare some aspects of planner usage to what it will look like next year in junior high.

Enjoy spring break! I look forward to hearing all about your favorite things when we get back!
