Welcome November! Thank you to those parents who were so kind and flexible about rescheduling their conferences. I will add an extra week to the schedule and resend it.
Jordan Zuniga was our class Spelling Bee winner! The school-wide Spelling Bee is scheduled on Thursday, November 3.
This week’s Spelling is: Unit 2, Week 5 Closed Syllables (I accidentally skipped a week, but had taught the concept of closed syllables by the time I realized. We’ll “jump back” to U2, W4 Contractions next week).
ELA: Genre: Fairy Tale; comprehension strategy: make predictions; comp skill: compare and contrast.
Math: CHAPTER 4 MATH Test on Friday!!! – Multiply Decimals. The Chapter 4 Review in the text book mimics the actual test, but with different numbers.
Social Studies: Writing a 5-paragraph essay on the effects of geography and climate to the North American Indians. The Northeast New England States and Capitals
Science: Begin Chapter 7, Types of Matter.
Please set aside Thursday, November 17th for the 5th Grade Colonial Day! More info to come!
