WEEK 9

GOOD DAY ALL! I was out for a few days last week so I feel as though I am playing catch up. This Friday will be our Halloween Party! The students have been busy making their Halloween Masks which they will try and finish in Art class today. Please send in what you are willing to donate to the Halloween Party by Thursday - Thank YOU!

This week in Math we have been working on story problems and will continue with them for the rest of the week. It is important that the students create a picture/number sentence/image so they can make sense of the problem and organize the information given.

In reading we continue with our Maniac Magee. It must seem that we have been with MM for many weeks, and you are right. However, we are coming to the end. I spoke with the students yesterday as to how important it is to look back in the book if they are unsure of a comprehension question. I'm noticing that some will just guess instead of taking the time to look back. Another skill that is important to practice.

In religion we will begin the 10 commandments. In Science we are trying to complete our Salmon posters, hopefully by the end of the week.

*Sister Schools will be here on Wednesday to pick up the donated items for students/children in Uganda.

Let me know if you want to come to the Halloween Party!
