McVay January 23 - 27

Here is a glance at the week ahead.

Math - 
Chapter 10 Lessons 1 - 4
Daily grade on Lessons 1 & 2 Thursday
To do well you must practice the skills each night by honestly trying to complete the homework!


Science - 
We will be skipping around the book and using supplemental material as we focus on our trip to Space Camp.  Chapter 13 Lesson 3, only page 500
Weekly Reader grade on Wednesday, you will get that Weekly Reader on Monday.
To do well you will need to read all of the articles in the magazine and answer the questions on the back of the magazine.  Do not lose the Weekly Reader as it is needed to complete the grade.

Social Studies - 
Chapter 6 Lesson 1
Grade at the end of lessons 1 & 2 either the end of this week or beginning of next week.
To do well in Social Studies I recommend reading the lessons at least 3 different times.  For example, 1. we read it in class, 2.  then read through it for homework one night and then 3. finally, read through it as you take notes highlighting the important facts and reading over the captions.  Read through the study guide too.   Then the night before the grade is taken, organize your notes and skim through the lessons to ensure you are super familiar with how the information is organized.

I will not be at school on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday but I will be at work.  I am serving on the Strategic Planning Committee that is embarking on a three year plan for Trinity Presbyterian School.  I am honored to have been asked to serve, and I am excited to be a part of shaping the future of our wonderful school.  You will be in the capable hands of Mrs. Lowry.  However, if you need me I will be available by email.  Otherwise, I will see you on Thursday!
I miss my students already,
