Odds and Ends:
*Book Order: If anyone would like to make an online order to Scholastic books, I can still submit an order before the holidays. Please let me know if you make an order so I can submit it and get the books on their way. If you want to order any books as gifts, I can hold onto them for you to pick up in the office.
Thanks!
*Bowling: We will go bowling on Mon. 12/17. We go in the morning and students often get snacks at the bowling alley. When we arrive back at school, it is time for lunch and often the hot lunches go to waste since students just ate at the bowling alley. On this day, please send your child with a sack lunch. Thank you!
UPCOMING EVENTS:
*Tues. 12/11: Math: Ch. 6 Data and Graphing Test
*Fri. 12/14: Math: 3's Multiplication timed test
Spelling: List 12 Test
A LOOK AT NEXT WEEK:
*Reading: We will focus on character inferences and cause and effect as we finish up our book buddy projects. We will also work on making visualizations while we read and story elements (character, setting, plot) and how they are used in stories. We will begin guided reading books with the theme of winter as well.
* English: We finished up our unit on nouns. We will begin ch. 3 on verbs before we leave for break, as well as work on some writing activities. DOL is also completed. DOL is aligned with ch. 5 of our English textbook, so I will be doing some review of these concepts before and after break as we prepare to take a cumulative review of all concepts covered in DOL (ch 5).
*Spelling: We will work on list 12: a pretest will be given Monday. Homework will be due Thurs. The final test will be on Friday.
*Social Studies: We will begin to look at ch. 12: local government as we connect the lessons to our study of Downers Grove. We will be completing this unit of study before break. Look for test information coming home next week.
*Science: We completed ch. 4 ecosystems. We will begin ch 11 Matter. We will focus on this unit before and after break.
*Math: We are working on data and graphs. We will take our test on Tues. 12/11. We will work on making graphs with cooperative groups. We will begin ch. 20: Customary Measurement following our graph making. We will also focus on week 4 of multiplication which is 3's facts. Please see the green note your child received on Friday to see what facts they need to know next week. The test will be on Fri. 12/14.
