Reminders: Tuesday, September 22 is an early dismissal day. Students will be dismissed at 11:00 A.M.Magazine Turn in is on Friday, September 25.
As students begin taking tests, I wanted to remind parents tests will not be sent home. All grades are posted on parent connect. Tests that have received grade of a D or less will be sent home requesting parent signature. If there is a specific test you would like to see to go over with your child, please let me know and I will send it home. I am requesting all tests to be returned the next school day.
A note from the library:
Join us for Lunch in the Library
On October 8, the IMC is the place to be! Come talk about books while we munch on lunch with other readers. Bring a chapter book you really enjoyed reading, and tell us about it! You'll also hear about other great books you might like to read. If you're getting hot lunch that day, just get your lunch first and then join us.

MATH
Our class has been working very hard and our tests scores prove it! We just took the Chapter 1 test and the grades have been posted to parent connect. I was very pleased! This week, we will be multiplying by multi-digit numbers. I cannot stress how important it is to be practicing math facts regularly. Students who struggle with their multiplication tables will have some difficulty with this chapter. A quiz covering patterns in multiplication, estimating products and multiplying by 1-digit numbers is scheduled for Tuesday.
Language Arts
On Tuesday, our class will be testing on Chapter 1 in English: The Sentence. Students have been given "How to Study" sheets and have a chance to earn 2 points toward their tests if they list the three or more ways they have studied and parents sign off.
In Reading, we will continue focusing on summarizing and predicting as we read The Wish Giver. Our focus will also be on synonyms and antonyms.
In Spelling, lesson 4 covers prefixes and base words. The test is on Thursday.
Social Studies
We will be discussing life in New Spain now that the Aztecs have been conquered. This lesson concludes Chapter 4 - the test is scheduled for Friday, September 25.
Science
We will be practicing the scientific method this week to prepare for our test scheduled for Wednesday, September 30.
Have a wonderful week!
