Q2 Math Benchmark

MATH BENCHMARK RESCHEDULED FOR MONDAY, FEB. 1ST! 

Originally, our Math Benchmark for Quarter 2 was scheduled for Thursday, January 21. Unfortunately we missed our testing date because of the inclement weather we received. Our new testing date will be on Monday, February 1. 

This weekend, students will come home with a math review packet. Students must complete the packet and turn it in on Monday morning. Students can also get additional math practice on IXL.com using the Quick Links tab on our PES homepage. 

For the benchmark, make sure you get plenty of rest and eat a healthy breakfast. This is your time to shine and show all that you've learned this quarter. Good luck! I know you will do great -- I believe in YOU! :-)

Our Reading Benchmark for Quarter 2 is tomorrow! Please make sure our child gets plenty of rest tonight and eats a healthy breakfast in the morning! I can't wait for them to show me what they've learned this quarter! Good luck guys! :-)

Biography Project Due Jan. 14th

Biography Poster

For Quarter 2, students had to read a biography for his/her Reader's Notebook. This poster should be an extension of the biography they read. The goal is for the student to teach us about the person they read about in the biography he/she chose. 

Poster should include:
1) Name of Person
2) Picture (can be drawn or printed off of the Internet)
3) Dates (when the person was born, and when they died if applicable)
4) Include at least 5 facts about that person

DUE DATE: Thursday, January 14th. 

*I have poster paper available if students need it. The project may be turned in ahead of time.
