Pechon's Press - November 16 - 20, 2009

 

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!
