Week of December 14th

Good Morning!

We certainly have a very busy week!  See everyone at the Christmas Shows!  And remember we have an early dismissal on Friday (12:00) after our class parties!

This week in...

Reading:  After reading Chris Van Allsburg's The Stranger last week, we are going to look at a few other books he has written:  Two Bad Ants and The Polar Express.  We will still be trying to find out what makes a story a fantasy and how to draw conclusions using what the story says and what we know about that topic.  No reading test this week and no new vocabulary.

Religion:  We will take our Chapter 5 open book test on Wednesday

Spelling:  No spelling lesson this week!

4th LA: Working on diocesan required poem.  Our topic will be about Christmas

5th LA: Working on diocesan required poem.  Our topic will be about Christmas

4th SS:  We will begin our Southeast region tour and will continue it when we get back from break

5th SS:  We will finish chapter 5 on Monday.  I will not see the 5th graders on Tuesday due to show practice.  On Wednesday they will turn in their final numbers for the Stock Market Activity and I will give them the chapter 5 test.  This test will be a take- home, open book, open note, test that will be due Friday Morning.  If the students get it done Wednesday night I will accept it on Thursday!
