December 16-20, 2013

Students will be taking District Benchmarks in Math and Reading this week both 6th and 7th grade Falcons. Parents once again I ask you to please make sure your son/daughter comes to school everyday this week because we are still in teaching and learning mode. Students you have the study guides (brochures) that you need to be studying until the day before the exams. It is imperative that you all get a good night sleep before each exam and that you come with your thinking hats on ready to excel. I want to wish every student good luck!
Benchmarks will be administered as follows: December 17 (Math) and December 18 (Reading)

Monday--Review for Reading
Tuesday--Math District Benchmark (all teachers will be testing)
Wednesday--Reading District Benchmark (all teachers will be testing)
Thursday--Go over Reading Benchmark
Friday--Christmas Party (Early Release)

Let's SOAR Falcons!
I want to wish everyone a Merry Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! May everyone stay safe!

December 2-6, 2013

     Let's get ready for the fourth week in the 3rd Six Weeks.  We will be reading the last chapters of "Esperanza Rising" and finishing up the in class projects.  We will be having a District Benchmark December 18th so we need to really concentrate, focus and do the work we are assigned.  Our goal is to pass with a 90% or higher.  In order to do this we need to work hard and responsibly.  So Falcons let's put our brains in gear and SOAR!
     This week progress reports will be sent home.
