Good Afternoon!
We hope everyone had a good weekend!
Tomorrow (Tuesday) we will go on our field trip to the Symphony! We will leave school around 8:45 and should return around 11:00. We will wear our uniforms and be back in plenty of time to have our normal lunch.
Also this week we will have our Halloween Party on Friday afternoon. Thanks to everyone to getting the proposed snack list back last week so our wonderful room parents had time to plan!
This week in...
Reading: We will be reading Cyber Pigs this week. This is a fun, rhyming, play that is another version of The Three Little Pigs! This week we will look at different versions of The Three Little Pigs and work on Author's Purpose for writing.
Religion: We will continue to learn about The Ten Commandments and how Moses received them on Mt. Sinai. We will be reading out of the children's bible this week and watching an animated video depicting the story.
Spelling: Lesson 9. Practice page due Thursday. Menu due Friday and Test will be on Friday
4th LA: Finishing up plural and singular nouns, quiz on Friday
5th LA: Frog essay is due on Wednesday and then they will begin possessive nouns
4th SS: We will be in our region tour this week of the Northeast Region. There will not be much daily homework while we are on tour and there is no test at the end. Instead we have a final project that is due at the end of the tour that consists of a letter and scrapbook pages. Each time we go to a different "stop" we take notes and learn about the site. The students will use these notes to help them create their scrapbook picture and one-two sentences about each stop and then they will pick their top three stops to describe in a letter to a family member or friend. Please know that I am explaining this process almost every day, so the students should know exactly what to do. They already have the sheets in their blue SS folder. It can be a little confusing for the first project, but once they get the process down it will be very easy for the rest of the tours!
5th SS: Chapter 4- How Spain builds an empire over in North and South America. Lesson 1 and possible starting lesson 2 this week.
