Classroom Chatter
Don't forget there is no school Monday (Columbus day) or on Tuesday (Teacher Institute). Have a great, long weekend!
Book orders went home today (Friday 10/7). They are due on Friday 10/14. You can order online or send in your order with a check. Thanks!
Spelling
No spelling this week due to the shortened week.
English
We will finish up with our papers we are writing with our Me Bags. We will begin another writing unit at the end of the week. We will spend a week doing descriptive writing.
Reading
Our continued focus will be on inferring this week as we practice using many reading strategies to improve our reading. The inferences we make will be about text, characters and unfamiliar words. There will be a vocabulary quiz (from the story Ballad of Mulan) on Thursday.
This week we learned about "Good Fit" books. Ask your child about it!
Science
We will take a test on Ecosystems on Thursday, 10/13.
Social Studies
We will begin our next unit of study, Downers Grove, next week!
Mrs. Csorba's math class:
We will take a mad minute on two's and squares on Wednesday. We also will continue with chapter 2. This week we will learn some more mental math strategies, learn how to estimate sums and differences, and add and subtract money. A look ahead to next week, the week of 17th-21st, we will probably take the next CYP on Wednesday 10/19 and the ch. 2 test Friday 10/21.
