Hello!  I hope you all have had a Merry Christmas and that your New Year celebrations are fabulous. Parent-Teacher conferences are by invitation.  If I did not invite you to have a conference, you can still set one up with me if you have questions or concerns or you can email me to set up a time to talk by phone!  I am looking forward to seeing you all next year!!!
Mr. Lehrer

Attention 5C!!

Make sure that if you are dressing up tomorrow like I am (I am coming as Gandalf), you also have clothes to wear outside as we will spend some time outside playing.  

I am looking forward to seeing all of my favorite literary characters come to life!

Mr Lehrer

Upcoming Tests, Assignments That Are Coming Due, and Exciting Happenings Before Christmas Break!  

1. Turn in note cards with your 3 minute speech written on them by Monday 12/14.  This will simply be a shorter version of your 5 paragraphs about your historical person.  You will have time in class to work on this.
2. History test on Monday 12/14 over the age of the explorers.  You already have a study guide and we will go over it in class.  Study this guide and you will do well on the test.  
3. There will be a Greek and Latin roots test on 12/15.  This will be over the last 25 roots that we have studied in class.  You will have time in class to study for this.
4. There will be a math test on ratios (our next short math unit) on Friday 12/18.
5. Thursday 12/17 is Literature Day where you get to dress up as your favorite literary character!  Make sure you pick one and come dressed up! I have decided to come as Gandalf from the Lord of the Rings.
6. Friday 12/18 is our Literature Feast!
