ROOM 31 Post

Middleton Elementary

Science/Social Studies
Students should have their speeches and backdrops ready. Speeches will start on Monday, so students need to bring all their materials.
Book Reports
All students will be required to complete THREE book reports this trimester.
State Writing Assessment
The State Writing Assessment will be the week of 2/7-2/25. Students will complete a web, outline, rough draft, edit/revise, and a final draft independently in class. They may use dictionaries, a Thesaurus, spell checkers, and any word lists provided in the Writing Tools packet in their writing notebooks. Feel free to review the writing process with your child. Results will be available by the spring conferences.
NED (assembly) stands for:
Never give up
Encourage others
Do your best
I encourage you to discuss the importance of these with your child.
Conferences
Conferences will be Thursday, January 27, 3:30-7:30, and Friday, January 28th, 8:00-12:00. A confirmation was sent home today. Please email or call if your time no longer works.
OAKS
This week our class took the reading and mathematics OAKS tests. They were given four days to complete both, and due to absences, more time will be allowed for those that need it.
Artist in Residence
Our 4th grade class did an awesome job at the dance assembly yesterday! I am so proud of their hard work and mastery of some fabulous 80’s dance moves. Oh the flashbacks….
Valentine’s Party
Students have the option of participating in a Valentine box decorating contest. Students can make a box at home, bring it on Feb. 11, and enter the contest for prizes.
The categories are:
Most Creative Box Silliest Box
Best Animal Box Most Unique Box
The boxes will need to come to school on Monday morning, 2/14, and go home that afternoon, so please bring the box in a bag with handles.
