Newsletter For January 14-18,2008

Arts

This week's story is "The Little Red Hen".  We will compare this version of an old folktale to other stories about "The Little Red Hen" and see how they are alike and different.  We will also discuss the moral of our story. Beginning with this story we will have a weekly comprehension test every Friday for each story.

Math

We will continue Chapter 8 with Place Value.  We took a Mid-Term Math Assessment for two days last week and we will also complete another assessment that coincides with our Performance Standards.  These are used for information gathering and help us to drive instruction goals.  We do not use them for grades.

Penny Wars

Please send in pennies so we can join "The Penny Wars" and compete against other classes to see who can raise the most money for the American Cancer Society.  Details are posted on the Sope Creek School Blog.
