Classroom Chatter
No school Monday for Presidents' Day.

Spring Conferences are being held the week of March 5th. Conferences are mainly for math parents. You should be hearing from your child's math teacher by today if you haven't already. Starting Monday, 2/27, I will open up any of the remaining spots for my homeroom. I will send you an email to sign up online. Spring conferences are being scheduled on an as needed basis. I will not be requesting a conference for all students. However, if you feel a conference is necessary at this time, then you can reserve your time starting 2/27!

Spelling
No spelling list again. We will use spelling time to work on prefix/suffix.

Reading
We will continue with identifying prefix/suffix and root words. We will continue with working on writing extended responses which we find text proofs and interpret what we read. We also will start reading some biographies on African Americans for Black History month!

English
We will begin our next unit on adjectives.

Science
We will learn about the moon!

Social Studies
We will continue with our study on Chicago.

Math
We will have a test next Friday on chapter 7. We also will begin a graph project! There will be a CYP on lessons 4-6 on Tuesday. Also, I sent out an email about Spring Conferences. If you feel you would like a conference, please schedule a time by Friday, 2/24. I would like to start scheduling for my homeroom by 2/27. Thank you!
