October 19, 2015

It was so good to see everyone at Open House on Thursday night. 

All of the students are finishing up their animal research projects and Google Slideshows. Everyone has been working really hard on this project and they are excited to be able to share them. After the slideshows are graded I will share them with you so that you are able to view them at home. We will continue to learn about traits this week in Science.

We are continuing to work on similes and word choice in writing. We are also going to start a study of historical fiction and will be reading the book, Kirsten. This is an American Girl Story but it is historical fiction and also includes the topic of immigration which is part of our unit study this week. Due to the two short weeks our typical schedule has been modified and includes:

Wednesday, October 21-Vocabulary Test
Wednesday, October 21-Spelling packet due
Thursday, October 22-Spelling Test and Reading test
Thursday, October 22-Reading Log due

We will be learning multiplication and division patterns: multiplying and dividing by 2 and 5. We will continue with our daily practice of Kick It! All of the students are excited to practice and are very excited when they move to a new level. 

This is the final week of the grading period and report cards will be coming home soon. Please take the opportunity to check your child's grades on Progress Book.
