Mom2Mom Sale
The Mom2Mom sale has been cancelled. Could you please pass the word? Thank you!

Argumentative Writing
Our argumentative writing project is completed and scored. Ask your child how he or she did.
It is hung up on our bulletin board outside our room for all to read. Overall, our class did very
well. We have moved on to picking a topic to write about. I was surprised at how many chose a
persuasive type of writing.

Math
Your child took the Unit 8 math test last week. This was a challenging unit. Your student took
home his or her Unit 8 test and if the score was lower than 70%, he or she was supposed to fix
and return today. If you have not seen this test, ask your child for it and check his or her score.
We are now moving on to working on the End of the Year math assessment. Students will be
working on two pages each day for a week in order to complete this. I was pleased with how
many of my students made their goal on the NWEA math assessment. Thank you for your
help at home!



Spelling
I do not send home words on a sheet in an effort to save paper. Your child will be writing them
in his or her agenda every Monday. I will also include those in my newsletters. Your childs
spelling words for this week are:
oil oily boss bossy
omit omits possibly impossibly
possibility impossibility parole parolee
operate operable exportable

Three times each is always due no later than Thursday morning.
