Good afternoon! We will be completing our Unit 3 Language Arts assessments next week. We will take a reading test on Monday and Tuesday, and our Word Wall spelling test will be on Wednesday, February 11. If we have a snow day on Monday (I'm sick of all this snow!), our Word Wall test will be on Thursday.

In Math, we will have our Chapter 6 test. Please have your child practice adding with regrouping (carrying the 1) and borrowing when subtracting, especially if there is double borrowing involved.
If we are not in school Monday, our test will be Tuesday.

We will learn about motion in Science.

Please remember to sign up for Optical Academy. It is a reduced-cost traveling eye doctor who will be here on February 24.

I will post homework next week so that it is up-to-date with any snow days we may have.

Have a great weekend!
