The upcoming week has two important dates to remember:
Monday - Magazine Sale kickoff assembly at 1:30
Tuesday - Early dismissal at 11:00
For the following week, Picture Day is scheduled for Thursday, September 25.
Here's the week in a nutshell:
Homeroom (Science and Social Studies)
Our Science class has a really fun activity planned with Ms. Trefonas' class. Our students have to design an apparatus that will protect a raw uncooked egg from cracking when dropped from 15 feet. Pages 9-11 in our Lab Manuals will be extremely useful when conducting this experiment. Good luck scientists!
In Social Studies we are going to need brown paper bags the size you would use to bag your groceries. If you can, please send one or two in with your child. With the bags we will be creating mini scroll books on the mystery of Roanoke Island and discussing Jamestown.
RTI Group
Spelling - Lesson 3 pretest on the suffix -er/singular possessives is on Monday; workbook pages 16 - 19 are due on Thursday; post test is on Friday.
English - I anticipate having a test the week of September 22 after we cover subjects in imperatives, conjunctions and run-on sentences this week.
Reading - We are going to continue working on the predicting strategy in our class.
Math Group
After reviewing the test on Chapter 1 and doing some ISAT practice, our class will begin Chapter 2 on multiplying. We will be looking at patterns in multiples, estimated products and begin multiplying by one digit. This is where those math fact skills are really going to be useful! Keep up the hard work on memorizing those! Remember, there are some practice websites to the right of this message you can click on that are actually fun!
I hope you have a wonderful week!
Ms. Stetka
