Announcements:
Thank you so much for your extra help with the homework challenge this month.  I hope it helped motivate your students a little more.  I know it gets so hard at the end of the year to keep going, so thank you for your support from home.  I am very proud of how hard the students have been working.  We took our Unit 5 test on Friday and most of them did very well! 

I will be contacting parents about chaperoning the field trip.  I had a lot of parents volunteer.  I will try to pick parents that aren't usually able to help in the classroom, I'll do my best to make it fair.  

Keep in mind there are only about 3 weeks left to qualify to receive the Bobcat Award.  Many of the things we have already done in school, the biggest thing is accomplishing the personal goals at home.  Many of the personal goals take about a month to complete.  Just keep an eye on what your student still needs to complete.
