Tests Going Home This Week: In today's work habits folder, I am sending home the math and reading tests from last week. Please review the tests with your child. Then sign and return the tests for tomorrow, so I can keep them on file. Thank you!
Drama Club: We have an amazing nine students in our class who signed up for Drama Club! Tomorrow morning is the first session of Drama Club. If your child is participating, Drama Club starts promptly at 8:00 a.m. in The Drama Room.
Notes about Curriculum: In Math this week we will be studying geometry. We began today with learning about parallel and perpendicular lines and line segments. This week we will also be learning about parallelograms, squares, rectangles and rhombuses. There are a lot of new vocabulary terms this week. Please help your child to study and review the notes in his or her binder to help with learning the vocabulary.
In Science we will be finishing our unit on soil this week. We will begin Social Studies with Mr. Otto next week. We will be switching classes on Mondays through Thursdays.
In writing we will be finishing drafting our personal narratives this week. We have been learning about the different parts of a story. Today we learned about how to write a stretched out middle to our stories. Ask your child what he or she is writing about!
In reading, we will be focusing this week on fiction. We will be learning how to recognize literary elements (plot, character, setting, problem/solution and theme). Our focus this week will be analyzing a character's point of view and a character's intentions and feelings.
Book Orders: Scholastic Book Orders are due tomorrow.
School Closed Wednesday for a Holiday! Have a great day off!
