Parents,
I was exhausted yesterday and thought I put up the UTIPS, but hadn't.  It should be up now.  Sorry for the trouble.
Brandy Rollins

Dear Parents,
I had a substitute yesterday and the spelling words got mixed up.  We will not have spelling this week since your students did not get them yesterday and I was concerned about having time to take a test anyway with all the Chinese New Year activities happening on Friday.  UTIPS is up and your child can take the Comp-Mixed 8 test.  I will leave this up throughout the time we are off track as well.  Have a great off track time and make sure to have your students read.

This week we will be working on using literature to learn how to use money in order to get ready for Kid’s Marketplace.  Your child will also be getting their job on Monday for Kid’s Marketplace.  They can dress up like their job.  Usually there is a prize for the best dressed.  We will also continue writing our opinion piece.  Your students have been reading a novel in reading groups.  Ask them how it is going.

Important dates:

Tuesday, January 29:  Kid’s Market Place.  We need 8 volunteers per class.  This is really a fun thing to volunteer doing so we would love to have you come help us out.  If you didn’t sign up to volunteer we could still use you-just come on Tuesday at 8:45 a.m.

Friday, February 8:  We will be celebrating Chinese New Year.
