Classroom Chatter
I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! Hard to believe we just have 9 days left until summer vacation!

We are enjoying our ten day countdown. Students can bring in an extra healthy treat for themselves for Friday's Munchies and a Movie. If someone can send in a rated G movie for us, that'll be great. We'll watch the movie the last half hour of the day!


Science
This week we will read from chapter 12 about energy, why it is important and how it is used. We also will begin chapter 11 on matter. There will not be any more grades taken for science. However, we will continue learning about science until the end of the year!!


Social Studies
We will finish Chicago with a quiz on Wednesday the 27th. This will be our final social studies grade.

Spelling
We will take our final test on L. 30 this week. If your child receives a 100% on Tuesday's pretest, they don't have to take the test Friday. I sent the list home Friday. This week's words are spelled with the prefix re-. This week's homework will be workbook pages 157-160 and an ABC order.

English
We will work on writing persuasive papers this week.

Reading
We will finish Ramona this week.


Math
We will finish up our final week of math with more practice of longer multiplication. I will also introduce long division.
