A LOOK AT NEXT WEEK
Mrs. Olsen's Language Arts Class
*Reading: We will continue the self questioning strategy as we explore author's purpose and read the story Grandma's Records. This book talks about old records and dancing. If you know anyone who professionally dances and would like to show our class some steps, please email me. Thanks!
*English: We will continue nouns (singular and plural possessive nouns). The test on Nouns (unit 2) is tentatively scheduled for Mon. 12/8.
*Spelling: We will be on List 12 this week. Due to the shortened week, there will not be a pretest. The final test will be on Thurs. 12/4. The packet will be due on Thurs. as well.
Mrs. Olsen's Science and Social Studies Class:
*Science: We are working on scientific inquiry and the scientific method. We will do another bubble experiment in class.
*Social Studies: We will continue to read Ch 3 and talk about immigration and culture.
Mrs. Olsen's Math Class:
*We are working with money in math class. We will begin counting back change next week. This is a tricky concept and it is very helpful if your child practices this as much as possible at home. Have them "pretend" to buy things they see in the ads with $5 or $10 and count back the change they should receive. There are also a lot of games online to practice this skill.
Thank you for checking my blog this week. I hope your break was as fun, relaxing, and delicious as mine was! See you in December!
Mrs. Olsen
