News From Room 207

Week of 3/3/14
I am looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at our Invention Convention from 9:15-10:00AM. Your children should bring in their inventions and posters tomorrow morning and if possible, inventions should be brought home at the end of the day. Your children are also expected to prepare an oral presentation/commercial to share the purpose of their invention. I am looking for a few volunteers to help with setup from 8:30-9:15AM tomorrow morning. Please let me know if you have availability. We have a very busy week ahead of us. Here is our schedule.

ELA We have our Mock ELA MCAS this week. Your children are welcome to bring in sugar-free gum to chew during the test. Additionally, please have your children spend 5-10 minutes a night reviewing the vocabulary flash cards that came home Read Aloud We continue reading the first book in the Warriors series, Into the Wild. Rusty, a young "kittypet" (house cat), yearns for adventure. When he's offered the chance to join the ThunderClan, one of the gangs of feral cats in the area, he doesn't hesitate. Renamed Firepaw, he becomes an apprentice and begins to train as a warrior.
