We will be continuing to work with cells this week. Two important assessments (quizzes) that will be happening are the vocabulary quiz on Tuesday, January 16 and the microscope quiz on Friday, January 19. The last day for any late work is Wednesday, January 17. Your child should have brought home a Gear Up Questionnaire on Friday. Please return it as soon as possible. If you have another child at Milwood Magnet school, only complete one of the questionnaires and on the other write "Already filled out one." so that your child's class will still get credit for filling one out.

Let's have a great week!
