Week of December 17

Last week before our long awaited Holiday Break! However, we still have some work to do - vacation hasn't started yet!

What to expect this week:

Our class party (for collecting enough 5th grade dollars) on Friday morning.
Going to see Polar Express on Friday afternoon.

My Math Group: My class is going to finish up Chapter 5 (averages, long division, mean, median, and mode) and have a test on Thursday, December 20. Since we will be bowling in the morning, all students will take the test in their homeroom after lunch.

Reading: We are starting Polar Express on Friday, the 14th so we will continue with that. On Thursday morning, we will be having a vocabulary quiz. During the week, we will be completing some web quests and other projects related to the Polar Express.
Book Reports are due on Friday, December 21!

English: We will be having a Test on Chapter 4 (adjectives) on Tuesday, December 18. We will also be constructing an adjective book on rare and interesting adjectives. Students will need their dictionaries on Friday.

I hope you have been enjoying your holiday season! Enjoy break and all the best in 2008!
