Dear Parents and Students,

https://docs.google.com/document/d/18-Nkbr0MBLHwTyn2BZV_Qn0LAzJuyFb_ANwpJ8kv-kQ/edit
The two winners will represent our class in the school-wide spelling bee on Friday, January 31st in Mrs. McNeilly's class.
* I am sending home the field trip form on Tuesday afternoon so please sign up if you would like to drive on the field trip on Friday, February 1st when we go to the UCSC life lab.
(My students' favorite trip last year)
* Our spelling and vocabulary will come from Fighting Ground, History and MLK
* I will not be giving as much homework the next two weeks to give students a chance to finish their Newspaper Project. Please make sure your child types the project...(Many parents like to do projects for kids!)
* In History we are finishing up our Unit of Study on Chapter 8. This week we are learning about the 2nd Continental Congress, Bunker Hill, George Washington and the Olive Branch Petition. Our test will be next Thursday, January 31st.
* In Math we are working on a challenging concept: Dividing by two-digit numbers using estimation as a short cut.
