I added several grades from the children's Science Notebooks today. These are all things that are in their Science Notebooks, none will be sheets to look for in the Signed Paper packets. 

Thank you to Cole's mom, Tracy, for filling in as the "Filing Fairy" while Heather adjusts to life with Baby Emma Grace!

Several students are coming to class without paper, glue sticks, pencils, etc. These are supplies that they need to replenish, should they be out. I have these supplies available in the General Store, as well. I just hate wasting class time while we wait on students to borrow from friends.

Extra Credit Opportunity
The SC Academy of Science is sponsoring its annual MESAS mail-in contest. I have offered this opportunity to my students for the past several years. This is a research-based science and history project. The cost to enter is $5 and I can send home details, upon request. I will replace the lowest Third Quarter test or quiz grade in science or history with a 100, if your child participates.

Reading Participation
Students will earn a participation grade in Reading this Semester. They will start each quarter with a 100, but will lose three points each time they are called on for reading, if they are not keeping up.

Good Afternoon!
I put off announcing this, because I really didn't know what to say. But, Tuesday morning I had a "mini stroke" while at school. The EMTs on the ambulance checked me out and I didn't have any heart issues, but they did make me go the the ER because I had dangerously high blood pressure. I am now taking a medication and we are working to get it down. At this time, I would simply appreciate your prayers!

Mrs. Butler was able to secure a Mobile Mining Museum to come to school for the 4th and 5th graders on January 30th. The cost will be $10. Permission forms will go home Tuesday. I know it is fast notice, but I need the $$payment$$ ASAP! Thanks so much!!

Report Cards went home today! Be sure to sign and return envelopes on Tuesday.

The first grades have been entered on Renweb for the Third Quarter and Signed Papers with Third Quarter work will go home on Tuesday. Several more sets of grades will be entered this weekend, as well.

Because of the short week, there will be no Spelling Test, CE Quiz, or MV Quiz next week. The only test is the Chapter 4 Science Test that will be on Wednesday. I had originally told the kids it was Tuesday, but had forgotten Monday was a holiday.

Enjoy your extra time off!
Love, Lisa
