Soil

We will be studying soil when we return from spring break. We will have a short test over soil. Students will be asked to bring soil to school as part of this unit. Please look for a letter to come home.

After we have studied soil, we will study rocks and fossils.

AR Books!

Go to the above website to download a list of AR books for TMS. The page will be updated when
new books are added to the list.

Students need to be earning 5 AR points each nine weeks. Please remind your child to read AR books at home and at school. At school, students are given time to read silently. Those who earn 25 AR points during the year will be given a candy bar as a reward for their hard work!

Keep up the good work and keep checking Friday Folders to see if your child has taken AR tests that week!
