Spelling: If your child is interested in participating in the BBS spelling bee have them stop by Miss Robinson’s room to pick up a list. The BBS spelling bee will be on January 14 immediately following chapel.


F&F: We will continue in our F&F unit, Character with Setting. Students have NO reading homework in this unit, but will be reading in class each day. Study materials are now in binders. Please help your child study using these materials to guide them: vocabulary (definition knowledge and use in a sentence that provides its meaning), visual tool labeling, process questions memorization.


English: In ELA, we are still focusing on nouns. In Writing, we are still working through the writing process in relation to deadlines and beginning our Grinch projects.


Math: We will continue in Unit 3, focusing on place value, with an emphasis on decimals. We will be properly reading, writing, rounding, and comparing decimals.  Homework will go home Monday and be due Thursday. 


Science/Social Studies: We are finally getting around to what I had planned for last week! We will be looking at immigration in the late 1800’s. I will be asking the students if they can find out which generation in their family was the first to immigrate to the United States and where they came from. Students will also be starting an Immigration Journal that will be a collaborative effort with English. Both Mr. Grisar and I will be taking a grade on this project. The rubric for grading will be sent home next week so you know how you can help and how we will be grading. Some of this will be done in class, but some will be assigned for homework.


Spelling: Spelling List 7 and its Activity Sheet will be placed in binders on Monday. The Activity Sheet is due on Wednesday, November 19. Test 7 is Thursday, November 20.


Bible: We are now working through the life of Moses all the way up to the Israelites coming to the Promised Land. This will take several class sessions.
