As the first nine weeks draws to a close, I hope that you have had the opportunity to learn about all the exciting concepts that your student has learned.  In math, we have learned how to display data on various types of graphs.  In language arts, we are continuing to master our grammar skills and determine the type of sentence.  In writing, we are working on creative narrative stories that are zany and crazy!  In science, we have been studying weather and weather safety.  There have been many projects and activities that your student has been involved in and I hope that they have shared their discoveries with you.

On a different note, the past two weeks have been interesting and exciting on a personal level.  I recently accepted a position as an Area Lead Teacher for Cobb County.  This is an amazing opportunity that I could not turn down.  Unfortunately, it also means that I will be leaving my classroom.  I have truly grown to love each student in my class and this is definitely the hardest part of my decision.  Dr. Frost is in the process of hiring a replacement and rest assured that your child's new teacher will be fully capable to take over and lead your child to success.

Please remember that Chick-fil-A biscuits are on sale each Thursday for $2.50.  Dowell Math Night at Publix is fast approaching.  This is an exciting night to view first hand how math is applicable to real life situations.  I hope you all can make it!
