December 12-16

2nd quarter is winding down and we are only a short week and a half from Christmas break! There are so many things to remember to help wrap up a great semester!

Reminders:
*Christmas Concert is tonight at 6:30. Mr. Goodlet would like the students there around 6:20 so we can organize them and have them ready to go at 6:30.
*AR points are Due December 19 (Tests taken after this will go toward 3rd quarter.
*Book projects are due Friday. If your child needs wrapping paper please let us know!
* Holiday mart is this week in the library
*Social Studies test on Wednesday- students may use their packets for part of the test

In reading this week, we wrap up our Best Christmas Pageant Ever discussion. We will continue working on theme and begin studying drama. We will use A Christmas Carol to study drama and theme together. This will be fun as they will get to act the story out and watch the movie during their AR parties next week!

In writing, we will continue working on our Christmas Around the World projects. Students are working on researching, citing sources, and presenting. This is always such a fun project as they learn about how other cultures celebrate Christmas, the teachers always learn something new too!

In math this week, we will study perimeter and area. We will work on this with word problems and also compare the two concepts to each other. We will practice these two skills all week.

In spelling, our list focuses on plurals this week. Our plurals follow the "add -es" rule on this list. The test will be Friday.

In Social studies we will wrap up our unit on The First Missourians. We will have a test on Wednesday over this unit. Then we will begin a quick review of the Scientific Method before break.

Have a great week!
