Interims were sent
home on November 12th. Please sign and return them along
with your child's Graded Paper Folder by Tuesday, November
17th if you have not done so already. Thank you.
It's hard to believe, but some students already need to
replenish school supplies. Please make sure that your
child has the necessary school supplies such as markers,
crayons, scissors… These are required school supplies
that are needed in order to be prepared for school. We
only have two boxes of tissues remaining to last us through
the rest of the school year. It would be great if students
could refurbish this supply as well, so we have enough
to get through the year. Thank you!

TENTATIVE WEEKLY OVERVIEW-
SPELLING-We will concentrate on Unit 15 in our spelling
text book, which consists of words with suffix prefixes.
The unit begins on page 92. All assigned homework for
spelling is due on Friday and should be headed properly
and completed in cursive handwriting. We will take the
spelling tests on Friday.
READING- We will finalize the extensive unit on biographies/autobiographies
this week. The final rubric explaining the requirements
that will accompany the reading was handed out today.
It is very important that the allotted class time is utilized
efficiently in order to complete the assigned work thoroughly
and accurately. It is also important that the all materials
for the work in progress be kept organized and together
in the provided folder. If your child does not follow
the outlined directions of the rubric or falls behind,
he/she will have to bring some of the work for homework.
The final project is due Friday!
LANGUAGE-We have begun unit five, which concentrates on
verbs. We will have a language quiz on the identification
of linking verbs on Wednesday.
MATH-We finalize Chapter Two this week and take the chapter
test on Friday. We will be completing and reviewing the
chapter reviews in order to prepare for this test.
SCIENCE-We will continue our focus on forces. This week,
we will be conducting a hands-on lab that centers on the
force of gravity.
SOCIAL STUDIES- We finalize Chapter Three this week and
be tested on its material and concepts on Friday.
Please let me know in advance if your child will be missing
school prior to the holiday so that he/she can take all
required tests and turn in all assigned work before leaving.
It is very difficult to have to make up tests after the
holidays. This of course, does not apply to unforeseen
circumstances. Thank you in advance.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK
AND A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
