Happy Friday! We have just completed the 1st Science Unit on Atoms. It was a tough one to start with, but the kids have done pretty well. We took the assessment on Friday and will get the tests back on Monday. Students will be given a one time only opportunity to correct make corrections on their test for half credit. I will be sending home a sheet that has exactly how to obtain those points. To get any points back, students must follow the directions exactly. Students must have the Test Reflection Sheet completed and turned in by Tuesday.
Our main focus this next week will be on Nanotechnology. It should be really fun.

Remember: October 10th is a half day for students.

Watch for your child's time for their Student Led Conference in the mail.
