A LOOK AT NEXT WEEK:

*English: We will begin our nouns unit. The students will take a pretest on Wednesday.
*Spelling: We will work on synonyms and antonyms analogies for the next weeks in spelling. A packet will be give to the students with the sheets we will work on in class in groups and homework. Please keep the packet in their binder, as we will refer to it during class and work on it in class. The test will be announced next week. There is no spelling list next week or the following week.
*Social Studies: We will continue to learn about the history of Downers Grove as we prepare for our field trip. We will focus on the underground railroad and learn about some more important places and people of DG next week. I have received many permission slips and interested parent chaperons. I will be contacting the parents who I can bring (I have a limit I can invite) next week. Thank you to all of those who volunteered!
*Science: We will begin ch. 4: ecosystems in the upcoming days.
*Math: We are working on the first part of ch 5: Money. We will work on counting back change. The money checkpoint/quiz is tentatively scheduled for Fri. 11/9. I may move the test to Tues. 11/13. Check your students planners next week for information regarding the quiz. We will continue to work on sub fast facts as well.
Enjoy the long weekend with your families!
