- Last week I sent home a green sheet, showing Yosemite payments for each student going on the trip, listing how much you have paid, how much your child earned through the raffle sale, and any scholarship that you asked for. If you have not yet seen this sheet, have your child dig it out of their backpack for you.
- The next payment for Yosemite is now due. Please send in a check made out to Adelante School.
- We are continuing to work very hard in preparation for the state tests which begin the last week of April. In math, we have just finished a section on geometric shapes. This week we will explore finding the perimeter of geometric shapes and circles, and next week the areas of these shapes. In English, we took a quiz on comprehension of two stories from our Literature book, and learned how to write a persuasive essay. This week, students will write their own persuasive essay.
- The monthly book report on a classic or award winning book is due next Monday, March 2.
- Vocabulary Builder worksheets are due every Friday. Please make sure your student does this every week.
- The second trimester is over. Work now being done will count toward the third trimester grade.
- Conferences run March 9-13. Students will be released early every day that week at 1:30.
