As the leaves fall along with the temperatures, we look forward to Halloween. Please remember that our costumes cannot include any fake weapons or blood and should be appropriate for school. Our party begins at 12:30 on Thursday with the parade followed by pumpkin decorating and snack in our classroom.
Junior Achievement began in our room last week and will continue until November 16. Mr. Blocker really enlightens our students on the economy and basic business practices.
Remember, there is NO SCHOOL on Friday, October 30.
Here is the upcoming week in a nutshell:
Math
We will continue working with numeric and algebraic expressions, solving equations and learning about functions this week.
Language Arts
Our spelling list is on Halloween words this week with the test on Wednesday.
In English, we will be wrapping up and reviewing chapter 5 so we can test on Thursday.
In reading, our class will continue with Tall Tales and studying characterization, setting, and plot. In addition, we will be having a lot of fun with idioms.
STUDENTS, YOU SHOULD BE DONE WITH YOUR ROUGH DRAFT OF YOUR READING RESPONSE WEB AND GETTING STARTED ON YOUR FINAL DRAFT. THIS IS DUE NO LATER THAN NOVEMBER 13.
Social Studies
We are hoping to test on Chapter 5 on Wednesday - we'll see if we can get all of our absent students caught up.
Science
Our focus this week is on food webs. We will not be testing until November 10.
