Week of September 19 - 23

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend!!   The sun may not be shining outside, but your children are sure shining.  We have started off the week with a great, positive attitude!  This week junior high basketball practice begins, Club Day will be Wednesday, and 8th graders will be taking the EXPLORE test.  Those are just a few activities that will be happening at Hickman County High School this week. 

Ask your children about their spelling contracts and encourage them to complete the nightly assignment.  This not only improves their spelling skills, it also helps with their writing and grammar skills.  In math, we will be learning to solve equations using addition and subtraction, as well as practicing other skills we have previously learned.  In reading, I am teaching the students strategies for reading  a Social Studies textbook.  We discussed how the title, headings, and subheadings help us find information we are looking for.  We will also be looking at maps, learning new vocabulary words, and locating the problem and solution in the text. 

We are having a great time learning in our classroom!  If you would like to join us, come on down!!  We welcome visitors anytime!  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
