ANNOUNCEMENTS
October 8 – ½ Day of School & House Games: Students may wear their shirts and athletic shorts, and they should bring something to “hit” and “catch” with for our game on this day. (Please do not send before October 8.)
October 9-13 – BBS Fall Break
October 31 - Western Day: Grab your hat and join us for this educational adventure. Students will experience panning for gold, building shelters and fires, fishing, and so much more. Parents are encouraged to attend. We will need drivers and help throughout the day. An information sheet will be coming home in Tuesday folders following Fall Break.
F&F: We will continue our F&F unit, Main idea. The unit’s study materials are in the F&F section of binders. Please help your child to study vocabulary and process questions. I recommend studying 2-3 vocabulary words and 2-3 process questions a week to prepare for the testing which will be toward the end of October. There is no reading homework during this unit!
English: In Writing, we will continue with our narrative stories. In ELA, we will continue working on simple, compound, and complex sentences using diagramming methods, as well as identifying and correcting errors in run-on sentences.
Math: We will continue Unit 2, covering adding and subtracting fractions, finding common denominators, and finding least common multiples (LCMs) and greatest common factors (GCFs). This week will mainly focus on multiplying whole numbers by fractions and finding the unit price of different items. No homework.
Science/Social Studies: We started our unit on the structure of the earth and rocks this week and will continue with that next week. Civil War tests will be in the Tuesday folders.
Spelling: Spelling List 4 and its Activity Sheet will be in binders this week. The Activity Sheet is due on Monday, October 6. Test 4 will be on Tuesday, October 7 (due to Fall Break).
