Happy Veteran's Day!

I hope all of you are able to attend Family Math Night tonight. Dinner will begin at 5:30 and the math games will begin at 6:30. It is a great night to spend some time with your child/children.

 

Students were excited to write letters to veterans in honor of Veteran’s Day. Students continue to write a personal narrative on a funny event that happened in their lives.

 

This week in math, students began division. Students will discover how to divide mentally by multiples of 10, 100, and 1,000. Students will estimate quotients, divide two digit numbers by one digit numbers, and interpret remainders. Students need to continue to practice math facts. A quiz on division will be given on November 24.

 

In English, students began an intensive study of verbs. Students need to memorize the State of Being verbs by Friday, November 12. The State of Being verbs are: is, am, are, was, were, be, being, been.

 

Students finished their Sacrament books today in religion class. They did a nice job! Students need to memorize the Act of Contrition by Friday, November 20.

 

We will have a Unit 6 vocabulary test on Friday. Students need to spell the word correctly, write the definition, and part of speech.

 

We will continue to read Because of Winn Dixie as a class. Students always answer comprehension questions or discuss questions in table groups.

 

We began Chapter 3 in social studies on Indiana becoming a state. Over the next several weeks, we will explain key documents in Indiana’s development from a United States territory to statehood.

 

Please remind your child of the importance of washing his/her hands frequently. Thank you!
