What a great week! We had such a fabulous time today with our Desktop Stores! Pictures soon to come! :)
General Announcements:
VIPs will go home with graded papers next Thursday 11/12/15. Picture retake is Monday 11/9/15. If you would like retakes you need to send back the picture packages. This is also when students will take their pictures if they were absent on the original picture day. For those of you who are trying to make winter break travel plans, our class winter party will be on Wednesday Dec. 16th. When I find out more details I will let everyone know. If you are interested in party planning please contact me! :)
Social Studies:
Desktop Stores were a success! Pictures soon to come. :) Our Economics test will be Monday 11/9/15. Students should have brought their textbooks and econ folders home. Today we played a review game in class. The students can play at home if they would like and the directions are at the bottom of this post. (I am not sure but I think they will only be able to play once.) Our next social studies unit will cover Government.
ELA/Reading:
There will be a POV quiz Friday 11/13/15. We will work on POV next week while still reading The Lemonade War. The students are extremely interested in the main characters, Evan and Jessie! Ask your students who their favorite character is right now and why.
We use a website called www.noredink.com in class for our grammar quizzes. This is a great website for students to use at home as well for grammar practice. Students should know the focus for the week, but if they forget you can check the ELA webpage on our classroom website.
Math:
There will be a Math Unit Assessment on Tuesday 11/10/15. This should be written down in your students' agendas. To review the main concepts the assessment will be covering, you can view the Math Unit 2 page on the classroom website. We will start unit 3 next week. You can also view the main concepts for this unit on the Math Unit 3 page on the classroom website. Also not much homework has been given out, this pattern will probably continue for Unit 3. These units are multiplication heavy! It is expected that students should be practicing their math facts at home everyday. Every Friday our class will be monitoring the students' progress.
I hope everyone has a great weekend! Hopefully it won't be too rainy. As always, please email me with any questions or concerns!
