YEARBOOK: Now is the time to place your orders. Yearbooks are $10.00 and the deadline for your orders are Tuesday, December 1, 2009. NO ORDERS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER THIS DATE! Please make checks payable to Lifetouch. Please make sure your child's name, teacher's name, and grade level are marked on the order form. If you have multiple children with orders, please fill out an order for each of them. Yearbook orders went home on Thursday, November 12th and there are only a few extras. Please try not to lose them. If your child loses the order form, all you need to do is send in an envelope with the following information on it: "Yearbook order", student's name, teacher's name, and grade level along with a check made payable to Lifetouch for $10.00. It is very important that you put this information on the envelope; Lifetouch does not know who your child's teacher is. Prairieview Yearbook orders are not paid for at registration!

Spelling
This week's words will be Thanksgiving words. There will not be a pretest this week. The test will be Friday. This week's assignments will not be in the spelling workbook. I will provide the assignments.
English
We will finish up our verb unit. Our test is scheduled for Tuesday 11/24. We will begin turkey stories.
Reading
We will be talking about similes and metaphors this week. We will use them in our turkey stories. We will be reading some Thanksgiving stories about Thanksgiving from a person's point of view. Students will be writing turkey stories from a turkey's point of view. We talked about author's point of view when we read the story, The Keeping Quilt last week.
Science
We will take the chapter 4 test on ecosystems test on Wednesday 11/18.
Social Studies
Chapter 12, lesson 2 teaches us about community leaders. Dr. Tiede is a community leader. As we all know he's our Superintendent of our schools. He is going to come into our classroom and talk with us about his role as Superintendent. We look forward to his visit!
Math
We will finish up chapter 4 on multiplication and division with a test on Friday 11/20. We will be taking the x4's mad minute this week. I do plan on taking the x5 the following week, which is only a 2 day week. I'm confident that with the x5's, students will pass the test on Monday or Tuesday. If they need a 3rd day to get their 5 points, I will give it to them after the break.
