Odds and Ends:
*Winter Wear Drive: Please continue to send in your gently used or new coats and winter accessories to help those in need! We have been filling up the donation box and would love to see more items come in! Thank you for your generosity!
* Prize Box: We are in need of donations to our prize box! Please send in any small, gently used or new items that the students can "shop" for using goodie tickets. Some popular items are pencils, eraser, stickers, key chains, folders, little notepads, socks, gloves, mini stuffed animals, trading cards, etc. Thank you!!!
Also, we are out of snacks and juice boxes for our extra bin. If you can send in any non perishable, healthy snack items, it would be much appreciated! Thanks!

A LOOK AT NEXT WEEK:
*Reading: We are focusing on close reading non fiction text. We are also working on finishing up our book buddies with a culminating project on character inferences.
*English: We are working on ch. 3 verbs: We will complete this chapter before break. The test is tentatively scheduled for the last week of break. More information coming soon!
*Spelling: We will take a break from our traditional spelling lists for the week as we focus on prefix and suffix. Your child will receive a packet of activity pages we will work on both in school and at home. The test will be the week before break.
*Science: We are busy working on ch. 11 Matter. We will finish this unit before break as well, and the test is scheduled for Wed. 12/18. We will do some fun experiments as we learn about the states of matter and physical and chemical changes.
*Math: We will wrap up ch. 5 with a test Tues. 12/10. This will cover the concepts of division. A study guide, vocabulary flashcards, and practice questions were sent home today. Hopefully your child remembered their math workbook this weekend to study! We will begin ch. 6 which will focus on the 2's, 5's and 10's multiplication and division patterns. We will focus on the 5's next week with a timed test on Friday.
Have a great weekend!
