A few reminders:
We are bowling on Monday. Please send a sack lunch with your child rather than having them order hot lunch. When they come back from the bowling alley's snack bar, they have zero appetite for lunch. I told my students if they get hungry later on in the day, they can eat what they brought.
Grinch celebration day is Friday. So many parents offered to send in treats - thank you very much! Please send in permission slip asap.
Here is our upcoming week in a nutshell:
MATH
Students will be finishing up chapter 6 on graphs and will test on this concept on Thursday, December 15. Also, the 6,7,8 multiplication test is on Monday.
READING
There is a vocabulary test on Tuesday. Students will be reading various books at their level. They will then be writing summaries for what happened at the beginning and middle of their story. Finally, they will write a review evaluating their story without giving away the ending. The final draft of student summaries and reviews will be written on a snowman!
SPELLING
There will be a holiday activity packet of spelling words but I will not be testing students on these words.
ENGLISH
We will finish the study of nouns in unit 2. There will be a test on Wednesday, December 14th. Students can leave their textbook at home until the day of the test.
SCIENCE
Our focus is on Social Studies this week.
SOCIAL STUDIES
We will finish the study of modern day Downers Grove and chapter 12. Students will be able to use their social studies textbook on the test, but they will not be able to use their Downer's Grove packets. Study guides have been sent home. Test date: Thursday, December 15.
I hope you have a wonderful week. Stay warm!
