Here are some notes from Tuesday:

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Research Paper updates: With schedule changes and the trip for the 8th grade basketball team, there have been some modifications to due dates for the Research Paper.

• Note Cards: Before the student begins to write his/her paper, they must have his/her note cards approved. They may do this beginning March 20. This should be complete by March 29.
• Works Cited: This is due on Tuesday, March 21.

We will be spending the next few days on MLA (Modern Language Association) formatting and notecards. Watch Edline for updates and attachments that will assist your student in completing this project.

General Math: We have completed Chapter 5 by taking the test today. I have not graded the tests yet, but initial observation is very positive.

End of Quarter: The 3rd quarter ends on March 22. Take time to check Edline for any work that you may be able to complete before Monday, March 20. With the quarter ending on Wednesday and the basketball trip, I will need to wrap everything up for the quarter before I leave.

Let me know if you have any questions.

We had a great day with a visit from the Mrs. Lang's preschool students (Green Room). We enjoyed a great story ("Lullabyhullabaloo") that was acted out by our students. That was followed by a short video called "The Garden" with Frog and Toad. We then helped our new preschool friends make a "potted flower". Watch for pictures here in the next few days.
