In science we will continue our discussion on states of matter, physical changes, and chemical changes. We will not be able to get the test in on this unit until after Thanksgiving break. Because of this, we will make sure and set aside several days to just review the material so that they are better prepared for the test. They have packets again for this unit that you have probably see come home. These packets include vocabulary, questions over the material, the investigations we've done in class, and study guides. All of this material will help them better prepare for the test. The test is tentatively scheduled for December 5th.
In spelling this week we will continue our discussion on prefixes and suffixes. We will not begin another spelling unit (with a list/test) until after we return from Thanksgiving break.
This week in Writing, students will begin (and finish) the drafting process on their expository (How-To) papers. Their presentations will be MONDAY and TUESDAY of next week. Look for a half sheet of paper on your child's presentation day. Please send materials needed for the presentation on this day.
In Reading, students will continue with their non-fiction read of Pilgrims and work on their literature circles. We will continue to work on AR points. Mid Quarter is tomorrow (11/19). Students should have at least half of their points.
Sunny D Labels are due November 21st.
Progress reports will go home November 19th.
