Class Update


Dear Parents and Caregivers,

There are some exciting opportunities for students that you may want to follow up on:

1.     Little League sign ups for the North Yuba Little League are beginning. You may find more information at the following website: www.northyubalittleleague.com, by calling 749-0636 or request a flyer from our secretary, Pam, in the office. Registration ends soon.

2.     7th and 8th grade girls have been invited to play volleyball for the Grizzly Hill team by their coach. She has offered to pick students up from school and take them to practices which will begin next week. Practices will be Monday- Thursday for eight weeks. If this is interesting, I can give you the coach's number (it's published on the paper flyer but I don't want to publish online).

Please be reminded that we have Friday the 13th and Monday the 16th off of school for President’s day.

This Wednesday we have our awards assembly in the morning and a half-day for our staff meetings.

This last week students wrote an essay comparing and contrasting Sparta and Athens. We began our study on molecules, compounds, and mixtures. We finished reading Black Ships Before Troy , and this week students will begin working on a final presentation in which they will persuade their audience that one of the characters meets the definition for an epic hero. In my math class, we’ve been generalizing rules for addition, multiplication, and division.

The next two weeks we will have a project in social studies on Ancient Greece that will likely involve some work at home.

We will do spelling this week!

Thank you!


Maggie Orion
