On the 20 or 21 of December we will be making Gingerbread Men. If you have any beads, buttons, or beans at home to donate to our project, please send them in with your student.
Next week students will be bringing home a missing scores list. After December 21st we will no longer be accepting late work from November or December. This will make our grading a little easier at the end of the term since it was a little out of hand last term.
Math: In rotations students have continued to work on adding and subtracting fractions. In class we have been drawing fraction flowers and will be putting them into gardens next week. Students will bring home a take home test on Adding and Subtracting fractions.
Science: Our mold sure is growing and looks pretty nasty! Clark Planetarium came on Friday and taught about the seasons, moon, and galaxy. Ask your student about new information they learned.
Social Studies: We didn't have much time for social studies this week because we were in charge of lunch duty. We will be learning about some Greek wars and Greek Philosophers.
Reading: We started our questioning unit and read an interesting book called "The Mary Celeste." It is about the crew of a ship who disappeared with no trace. It is a historical mystery that still hasn't been solved. Be sure to ask your students about this fascinating story! Next week students will work on creating an answer story to one of their unanswered questions. I'm excited to see what the students will come up with!
*** Special thanks to our parent volunteers who've been reading us fabulous Christmas stories! You are greatly appreciated!***
Writing: We are finishing up publishing our Personal Narratives. They will be due on Tuesday, December 21! If students do not finish typing in the lab next week, they will have to finish typing at home.
Spelling/Vocabulary: We took our Spelling test today. We'll have one more week of Spelling next week and then a break until the new year! Remember that if you are not satisfied with your Vocabulary test grade, talk to Miss Blaisdell and you can earn up to an 80%.
