Happy Halloween!
So many parents worked hard to ensure we had a fantastic Halloween celebration - thank you SO much! Our class had such a great time at our party!
Our upcoming Downers Grove field trip is scheduled for Friday, November 18. Currently, I have 2 chaperones. I am in need of three more. If you are interested, please email me. Thank you!
Here is the upcoming week in a nutshell:
MATH
Our class has recently finished up chapter 2 on rounding. While we will continue practicing this skill throughout the year, we are going to focus on problem solving and T-charts this week. I will be sending a packet home on Monday explaining everything you need to know about T-charts. In addition, students will receive a list of the math facts they are responsible for knowing by the end of the with the program "Multiplication Facts in Seven Weeks". Every week, I will send home the facts they are responsible for learning.
READING
Last week, we began Cliffhanger in our reading series. We are going to continue using this story to practice cause and effect. The Cliffhanger test is on Thursday and will test your child's comprehension of the story. Students are welcome to bring their reading books home.
ENGLISH
The final copy of the haunted house descriptive writing paper is due on Monday. Then, we are officially starting ME BAGS which will allow students to choose three of their favorite things to describe. Students will share the bags on Monday and Tuesday, November 7 and 8.
SCIENCE
Students will explore matter's physical properties and buoyancy this week. An open note/book quiz on lesson one is scheduled for Friday. Each lesson will be open note, however, the final test (scheduled for December 5) will not be.
