The Great Geography Challenge is underway! 

The students will each receive a blank passport and then they will earn a sticker for each region they have proven their mastery in. We will start with oceans and continents first, and then move on to the western US states. The studying and practice of geography will be on their own time. They can practice at home too! When they feel confident that they are ready, they will approach me and I will quiz them to see if they have mastered that region. The overall winner will be crowned Geography Champion at the end of the year!

We have several students who are lined up to see if they have mastered the first challenge! I’ll reveal the winners next week!!

Math

My class is made up of a variety of different math classes, therefore please check your child's planner to know what homework they might have.

Your child should be reading a book of their choice at least 20 mins each night. They should write down the title of the book they read, the pages they read, and when completed, ask you to sign in their planner that they completed the reading for the night.
Your child will be receiving their Spelling words each Thursday so that they have time to practice over the weekend. Tests will be the following Thursday.
