Although we make every effort to follow the agenda as it is written, minor adjustments may occur in order to provide an optimal learning experience for all students.

Dear Parents: I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving and were able to enjoy a l ot of family time together. We are finished with the Nile River and will begin studying the lives of the Pharaohs and their religious beliefs. We are continuing our unit on figurative language, which we should be wrapping up mid-week next week.

7th week progress reports will be coming home on Friday (printed on light blue paper), along with your child’s graded work. I encourage you to go over your child’s work in my class and discuss it and their progress report with them. Amazingly, we are almost at the end of our first semester!

As always, if you have any question regarding your child or their progress in my class, feel free to email me at any time. I look forward to always hearing from you. Have a wonderful week, and stay warm! Sincerely, Marsha Weddington
