It is Friday again and I am so excited about the week we had. This week we talked about global warming and its negative effects on the glaciers in Antarctica. Next week, we are going to continue our study on Antarctica by talking about--- penguins. Ask your student why these unique little creatures are so special.
Next week, we will also begin our TNReady (formally known as TCAP) testing. It is very important that students are eating breakfast and getting a good night's sleep, everyday. We will begin testing in the area of Social Studies, Families, ask your student to review different maps and Social Studies concepts. Below is a list of key concepts that students should review over the next week:
- Map of the United States
- World map: continents and oceans
- Reading an import and export graph
- Map of Tennessee
- The different types of government: Oligarchy, Absolute Monarchy, Democracy, and Parliamentary
- Three branches of government and their responsibilities: Legislative, Judicial, and Executive
Be looking for mini-report cards coming throughout the week. If students are failing a subject, I am sending them home with a report card. They will have one week to make up any missing assignments. Also, we do not have school next Friday, February 12 and next Thursday, is parent-teacher conferences. I would love to sit and talk with all families.
Best wishes,
Miss Brown
