Newsletter October 24 - 28

,
I hope that everyone had a wonderful fall break! The weather has been gorgeous this week.

We have lots of exciting things planned for this week and I can't wait to get started.

News to Know
  • Quinn Morgan is this week's snack helper. Will Rester is next week's helper. I will be redoing the schedule this week.
  • Don't forget about the Medieval festival on Friday! Students are to dress in Medieval clothes and our class is responsible for the games booth. If you did not receive my email or have any questions about our booth, please be in touch.
  • Students need to each bring a box of sugar cubes for this Thursday's conceptual lesson. Mr. Trent has something exciting planned.
  • Thank you to Charlotte Phillips for watching the class while I was in technology training!
Language Arts
We will finish reading The Midwife's Apprentice on Thursday and take a quiz. We will begin The Whipping Boy on Friday. We will continue working with nouns, particularly common errors with nouns. We will take a grammar quiz on Friday. We will also begin reading excerpts from Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Voices from a Medieval Village and writing journal entries based on the excerpts.

Math
We will continue learning concepts about multiplication early in the week. We will then begin learning the multiplication tables. Students will be creating flash cards to help them study. It is important that students study these facts nightly as they will be quizzed on each table and must pass each test.

Science / Social Studies
We will finish up with earth's resources this week. We'll take about evaporation, condensation, recycling, and pollution. We will take a quiz early next week. We will also create a map of continents, oceans, and a compass rose. Students will be quizzed on this information later next week.
