Week of October 17, 2011



Book Fair is on Thursday, 10/20 from 6:30 - 8:00. This would be a great place to find a good fit book!





Here is our upcoming week in a nutshell:



MATH



We will be exploring greater than, less than and equal to this week and we will begin rounding.




READING

Students will continue inferring word meaning, character traits and author messages with various books at their level.




SPELLING

We will be pretesting on lesson 7 (long o words) on Monday, 10/17. If your child receives a 90% or higher, they will be working from the "challenge" list of words for their homework. All students complete the cursive worksheet as part of their homework. The challenge group will complete two activities and the non-challenge group will complete workbook 122 and 123 and abc order for homework. The final test and all homework is due on Friday.


ENGLISH

Our descriptive writing practice continues and we will be introduced to the 6 traits of writing.


SOCIAL STUDIES

We began hemispheres and will test on this on Friday, 10/21. Students will receive a study guide on Monday.


Have a great weekend!
