Week of October 24th

We have started the 2nd Nine Weeks!  WOW...time has already flown by!! 

Reading
This week we will be reading Bremen Town Musicians, with our question of the week being "When should we work together? When should we work alone?"  We will be discussing the Author's Purpose in writing.  The Reading and Vocabulary Tests will be Thursday.

Spelling
The words this week deal with plurals (-s, -es, -ies).  Please study the words with your child!

note   notes   lunch   lunches   story   stories   tune   tunes

switch   switches   baby   babies   crumbs   supplies   centuries

Grammer
The skill is plural nouns that change spelling.   This can be a little tricky!

Math
We start subtraction and fact families.  The homework packet has LOTS of subtraction sheets to do because this skill is VERY important!

Science
TEST TUESDAY!  I gave the students the Study Guide back when they turned in their homework packet if it was not torn out already!  We will review on Monday!

Social Studies
We start our study of Indians.  This study will last until Thanksgiving!  We will discuss different Indian tribes!  You will be receiving information about the Timeline Project.

Reminders
  • Report Cards go home Thursday!
  • Fall Festival is Thursday (5:30-7:30).  It should be lots of fun!
  • Nancy's Italian Ice- Tuesday $1
  • Slush- Thursday $1
