*This semester is very full and very busy. We have started our TAKS prep load and you may start to notice more homework. Please use good time management skills as some of the homework assignments are not due until the end of the week.
*Look for students to be on the computer doing Study Island assignments in Math and Science. No one should be bored or looking for something to do.
*We have started our Pioneer Unit called Hacker Trail and there is a writing homework assignment almost every night of the unit. Please encourage and push your kiddos to challenge themselves with this writing. It's supposed to be FUN!
*One last thing, we will start our Science Review this Friday with our Flashback Friday homework. It is not due until the next Friday. Everyone will need to include a written summary of a TV show, internet article, or magazine article of some science topic each week. Look for this in their Friday Folders.

I know it is a lot. Please let me know if you are having problems completing everything and we can work together.

Science Fair is less than 2 weeks away! Please don't wait until the last minute. The completed project to due Monday, February 1.
Science Fair Information is on the PTA website.
