~We have had our first of two classroom spelling bees. Our next classroom spelling bee will be on Tuesday! The winners from our classroom go on to compete in the 5th grade spelling bee on Friday, Feb. 1st. The two winners from all of 5th grade will go on to compete in the Center Cass Spelling Bee on Friday, Feb. 8th!
~Our healthy snack supply is dwindling! If you can send in individually wrapped fruit snacks, Nutrigrain bars, cheese and crackers, or Goldfish crackers it would help replenish our supply!
HERE’S WHAT WE ARE UP TO THIS WEEK:
English = We are finishing our verb unit, finally! Due to the length of this unit and that we started it before the winter break, a study guide will be given for this test. It is highly recommended that the students use the textbook review pages to study too!
Unit 3 Verb test = Thursday!
Reading = SCOOPer Reading deadline is February 29th!
The students are allowed to meet with one book and activity per meeting…..
Is your child pacing themselves? Multiple book activities will not be accepted on the Feb. 29th!
ISAT skill practice = We will be using the ISAT workbooks to learn about cause of events, practice making inferences, drawing conclusions, and making generalizations. We will also review fact and opinion.
Social Studies = Lesson 3 of Chapter 8, “The Revolution Begins”
This is the last lesson of the chapter! Again, I have suggested to the students to begin reviewing learned material after each lesson instead of waiting until the test date is announced. Your child has note sheets from each lesson and graded work book pages. To begin preparing for this test, your child should be rereading the text, reviewing vocabulary, important people, and events.
THERE IS A LOT OF MATERIAL TO KNOW!!!!
Science = Human Body! Quiz on Monday over the 4 systems we have learned!
This week we will learn how our different body systems work together.
T.G.F.D. = Too Good For Drugs……This is week 7 of our 10 week program.
The children do not have a homework assignment this week.
Math = We are finishing Chapter 7 Geometry. The test has been announced to the students!
Chapter 7 test is scheduled for Thursday. Hopefully your child has started studying.
Keep warm during this frigid weather!
