What a great week! The students are so excited that they met all four goals! So there is no homework Monday or Wednesday night! Electronics day will be next Friday, October 26 (race day). On Monday students will bring home a paper to "register" any devices they want to bring. I will not set a fifth goal, but I know many students are going to continue to fund raise so they can make the sleepover at Tritt. They also want Tritt to make its goal so they can have a more exciting jumbo slide during the race and they want to paint the principals! Our next collection day is Monday, so please return all envelopes. Thanks!
In your child's folder is a list of the vocabulary words they learned first quarter. Whenever you can use those words, ask your child to use them, and ask them what they mean. We will continue to do that in class as new words are introduced. QUESTIONS TO ASK: What is a verb? What is the answer in division called? How is the theme of friendship evident in Because of Winn Dixie? REMEMBER: Our field trip is Thursday. Students wear their new STEAM shirts if they have one. They will also wear them on Friday for the race. All students may bring $5 in an envelope or baggy with their name on it to shop in the gift shop. All lunches should be in disposable containers. NEXT WEEK: Math - We will continue to practice division and begin to learn how to use the associative property to solve multiplication properties. Language Arts - Today students used Because of Winn Dixie chapters to begin determining the main idea. We will continue using that strategy next week as we finish the novel. Informational writing will be introduced and students will begin making lists of topics they are "experts" on that they might like to use as a writing idea. Students will also complete activities to help them practice spelling the high frequency words that they spell wrong in their writings. Science - How do fossils tell us about life long ago? Add our field trip, the Tritt-Mazing Race, and Electronics Day and we are going to have another fabulous week! Enjoy your weekend with your families!
