*Spelling: We are back to list 8. The pretest is Monday and final test and homework are on Friday.
*Science: We will begin our new unit: ch 11 : Matter.
* Social Studies: We will begin our Downers Grove History study this week. Look for a field trip permission slip coming home this week. If you want to chaperon, it is first come, first serve, so please turn in your permission slips ASAP.
*Math: We will continue to focus on rounding numbers this week. The ch. 2 test will be on Friday, 11/4. Look for a study guide coming home this week. Also, we will begin our multiplication facts. We are going to go through all of the facts in 7 weeks. A note explaining which facts we are focusing on will be sent home at the beginning of each week. Your child will also have nightly multiplication homework in addition to the lesson of the day's homework. The tests will be at the end of every week. The first facts are the "squares" 2x2, 3x3, etc. Thank you for all of your help studying at home!
Have a great weekend!
