Dear Parents,
Happy New Year! We're starting the year off with our Turtle Rock Field Trip
on Wednesday, January 6th. The hike will cover ground that the first
explorers to this area would have walked and will take us most of the morning.
In Math we are completing Unit B on polygons and angles. Our test is
scheduled for Thursday, January 7th. We will begin Unit 3 on Fractions the
following day.
In Science, we are studying Chapter 4, Lesson 3 on Fresh Water Resources.
Our test covering Lessons 1-3 in Chapter 4 will be on Friday, January 15th.
In Social Science, we have begun our Colonial Project where the students have
formed colonies. For the next two months, the students will be doing
activities surrounding this period in our country's history. You will be
hearing more about this in the coming weeks.
We continue to work on our novel studies during RTI.
Let us know if you have any questions. Email us at lholly@iusd.org or
