College Awareness Week

Where Will You Go .......

March 7 through 11 is College Week!  This is a wonderful opportunity for parents, teachers, and our community to show our students that college is an important goal for everyone.  College Week is one part of MISD’s FutureQuest initiative designed to create a college-bound culture so that all of our students have the option to choose their future path whether it be a university, a community college, a trade or technical school, or the military. 


If you know where you want to go to college, post it here as a comment!

Homework for Snow/Ice Day - February 9, 2011

Homework was sent in your child's take home folder yesterday, just in case we had another bad weather day.  If you are able to work on it with your child, please do!  Help them locate the answers in the passages.  Guide them to look back in the passage to prove the answer.

They are not expected to do the work on their own.  You can help them with these assignments.

We will have our spelling test on Friday for the spelling words from last week.  Our spelling pattern is prefixes ( re, un ) and suffixes ( ly, ful ).  Here are the words from last week:

repay, likely, kind, joyful,

bravely, wrap, pay, unlike,

retry, useful, unkind, joy,

play, like, unwrap, replay,

brave, reuse, playful, try, use
