The first quarter will end on Friday, October 23, 2009. The following week I will hold parent conferences to review your child’s progress and set goals for the remainder of the year. Conferences will last approximately 15 minutes, and I ask that the student attend with the parent. Please look in your child’s Thursday folder for a date and time that was assigned to you. If you cannot make the assigned time or date, please let me know as soon as possible. I still need one parent volunteer for Money Bus on October 16. Please let me know if you can help.
Math-Students began a new chapter this week on multiplication and division. We will be discussing the meanings of multiplication and division and how the two are related. Please continue to practice math facts.
Reading-We have reached the climax in our novel, Number the Stars. We will finish the novel next week. Our next novel will be Because of Winn Dixie.
Social Studies- Students will have their first states quiz on Wednesday, October 7. A reminder will be sent home in the Thursday Folder. We continue studying the Early people of Indiana.
Writing-We began writing rough drafts on a scary story. We will continue to work on this story throughout the month of October.
Language Arts-We continue to study nouns. We will begin discussing how to make singular and plural nouns possessive. Students will have a quiz on common, proper, concrete, abstract, singular and plural possessives on Friday, October 9.
Vocabulary-Students will have a spelling test every Friday until the end of the quarter. Vocabulary will resume after Fall Break!
