Hard-Boiled Egg Needed

We had a great day today and I just got back from my workout and it is SNOWING!! I bet the debaters who like snow are happy! Let's just hope it doesn't over-do it like last time.
We started a new Science Unit today on Earth, Plate Tectonics, and Volcanoes. If your child can tell you the layers of the earth, write Earth in the planner. ALSO, THEY NEED A HARD-BOILED EGG TOMORROW FOR OUR SCIENCE LAB!!!
Marathon practice for testing is upon us. Yes, we will be doing our MONT CAS tests the first 2 weeks of March and so we are practicing lots leading up to the real thing. These practice tests are quite long and have bubble sheets to go with them just like the REAL tests. We are practicing not only to make sure we are prepared for the skills, but also to endure the length of the real tests. In fact, the practice tests are old released test items from past years. They are mostly multiple choice answers, but we will be practicing constructed responses too which is where they have to write down their complete thoughts. I will not be helping them with these practice tests as I can't on the real ones so I just want them to work hard and DO THEIR BEST!! So please talk to them about this and I just wanted you to know why there will be so many coming home in the next few weeks. I know the students will do AWESOME! These will be done in both math and reading. If you ever have any questions on these as they come home, please contact me.
READ-THON-READERS: WOW-Hankins' Team is up to 5800 points. Way to make sure your kids are reading and getting those envelopes back. Students who are doing their part to help our team will be rewarded not only from the PTA, but from me as well.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND LET'S END UP ON TOP!!
Tomorrow is PE so remember the shoes.
Today in Social Studies, we made our flash cards to practice at school and students should still have the map to practice the West Region at home.
We compared and ordered fractions today in Math and tomorrow we are moving on to Mixed Fractions.
Students will be signing up for Valentine's Day Party committees tomorrow and then meet with their committees on Wednesday to plan. They will let you know on Wednesday what they will need to bring. Thank you.
Have a great night and let's hope we don't wake up to too much snow.
