As we look forward to a three day weekend, here is what's in store for next week.
In English we will be taking our pre-formative assessment, along with our weekly spelling, vocabulary, and daily language review.  We will be starting narrative paragraph work.
In Math, we continue working on multiplication, division, two-digit addition, and pre-algebra.  Also, we will be taking our Math pre-formative assessment.
In Social Studies, the students are working on the concept of latitude and longitude.
Everyone have a safe and fun Labor Day weekend!

With the first week of school coming to a close the students are quickly adjusting to their new schedules.  The Willard Intermediate School theme for this year is 'Around the World in 180 Days'.  In keeping with the around the world theme, the class will be studying different places on earth during the school year.
In class we are currently working on the process of reviewing in order to see what the students retained since last year.  Coming back from the summer break is always quite an adjustment.  It looks like the students are off to a good start!
As we take a look ahead to the next few weeks; next Tuesday 08/28/12 is picture day.  And, after Labor Day we will begin the fall Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA).  So, students use the next week to get back into the practice of reading.
We are all excited to be back in school and are looking forward to a great 'Around the World in 180 Days' year!

Welcome Back!
