Classroom Chatter
Don't forget we go bowling on Monday. It is encouraged for your child to bring a sack lunch since they might be too full to eat lunch after bowling. Students can bring $5 to buy a snack at the bowling alley.

A permission slip is coming home Monday for your child to watch Jim Carrey's, The Grinch. We are doing some Grinch related activities Friday to kick off winter break. Thank you to those parents who are bringing in treats for us on Friday!


Spelling
This week we will have Holiday words to study. Pretest and homework will go home Monday. The homework and test is due on Friday.

Reading
We will spend this week finishing up our novels we've been reading in our guided reading groups. While doing so, we will work on visualizing and evaluating the text.

Science
We will learn about the water cycle this week.

Social Studies
Thank you to Dr. Tiede for coming to talk to our class about being a community leader. We enjoyed your presentation!!! The test for Present Day DG and Chapter 12 (lessons 1 and 2 only) will be Tuesday. Study guide in the social studies folder. We will begin chapter 3, Culture, when we return from break.

Mrs. Csorba's Math class
Students will take a CYP on multiplication of larger numbers on Wednesday and the Ch. 4 test is Thursday. They also should start practicing x12's. They will test on these when we return from break. X11's are this week. We will spend Monday and Tuesday practicing multiplication.
