Week of December 12th

Good Afternoon!

We hope everyone had a restful, but very snowy, weekend!  We are getting down to the final few days before break!  This is going to be a busy week and our schedules will be slightly different but with our 4th graders super great focus and great behavior it should run smoothly :)  This week would be a great week to make sure a water bottle and snack are packed each day!

Remember our Christmas Concert is this week.  Thursday we will have two performances on during the school day and one at night.

We will have school next week on Monday (full day) and Tuesday (dismissal at noon).

This week in...

Reading: Mimicry and Camouflage.  We will be doing a lot of activities with the story this week and will have a test on Friday.  However the students will be able to use class notes and the book since the Christmas program will be Thursday night.

Religion:  We will finish Chapter 6 this week- Open book test next Monday

Spelling:  Normal spelling week this week.  Lesson 14

4th LA: We will be writing letters to Santa for Macy's Believe Campaign for the Make a Wish Foundation! No quizzes until 2017!

5th LA:  They will be Santa answering letters.  No quizzes until 2017!

4th SS:  We should finish our Southeast Region Tour this week.  Letter and Scrapbook will be due Friday, January 13th

5th SS:  Native American Research Projects start this week.  The students will be able to pick any Native American tribe of their choosing that can be found in the United States.  Information will be going home today.  There are three parts to the project:  1. Outline 2. Menu Item and 3. Artifact.  They will be presenting these in class during the week of January 23rd.  Time will also be given after break to work on the project.  Students should be going to the library to check out books for their research, we will have computers available but not enough for everyone so books would be the second option!
