Classroom Chatter
It was great meeting with everyone this week at our parent/teacher conference!
Attached to my e-mail about my blog being updated, I listed all the wonderful gifts we received for our adopted family. Some gifts were from our classroom and some were from Mrs. Spakausky's class. Remember, we are both collecting for the same family since this family is made up of 8 people. If you happen to be holiday shopping this weekend and can donate a gift for the family, it is greatly appreciated. All gifts are due to school by Tuesday 12/8. Thank you in advance for your generosity! Thank you to those of you who have already donated!!!!
Spelling
L. 13's words are spelled in the past tense with final y. We will take a pretest on Monday and the test will be Friday. Now that we are in the 2nd trimester, I will also start taking a spelling grade on either a workbook page or an ABC order sheet.
English
We will finish up with the first part of Unit 4 this week on adjectives. We will then hold off on the 2nd part of unit 4-adverbs until we return from winter break. We will begin writing a holiday story similar to our turkey stories.
Reading
This week we will focus on the reading strategy, connections. We will read the story the Mysterious Giant of Barletta. We will have a vocab quiz on the words on Thursday. The list is in the reading folder. Don't forget November/December's book reports are due Thursday 12/17.
Science
We will learn about food chains and food webs this week. We will test on Ch. 5 on Thursday 12/17.
Social Studies
We will begin chapter 3-People move from place to place. This week we will learn why people move to new communities.
Math
We will begin chapter 4 in math. Chapter 4 teaches us about data and probability. This week we will focus on different types of graphs. We also will be taking a mad minute in x7's.
