ANNOUNCEMENTS

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 went home in Tuesday folders.

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! Testing will be the week of October 27.

English: In Writing, we will continue working on our narrative stories, focusing on the publishing aspect. 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). Homework will be the Practice Test, which will go home Monday and is due Friday. The Unit 2 Test will be on Monday, October 27th.  

Science/Social Studies: Next week we will finish talking about the types of rocks, look at rocks, and move on to evaluating different alternate types of fuel. 

Spelling: Spelling List 5 and its Activity Sheet will be in binders this week. The Activity Sheet is due on Wednesday, October 22. Test 5 will be on Friday, October 24.
