Thank you so much to Mr. Smythe and Mrs. Panyard for covering my class this afternoon. FSF gave the teachers the “gift of time” by giving us the afternoon off to do some Christmas shopping. This special gift was greatly appreciated.
Students will be very busy this week and next. Please encourage your child to stay focused and continue to do his/her very best on every assignment.
Students have been studying geometry in math. Students will have a test on geometry concepts, Thursday, December 17. When we return from Christmas Break we will begin area, perimeter, and volume. Please continue to study math facts over the break!
We will finish the novel, Because of Winn Dixie, on Thursday. We will discuss the figurative language in the novel including similes, metaphors, and idioms. Students will have a quiz over the novel on Thursday.
We began writing our personal narratives on a memorable story. This paper will be a three paragraph paper. It will take us several weeks to complete this assignment.
In English, students need to memorize the list of helping verbs that was sent home last week. They will have to have the entire list memorized by Friday, December 18. We will begin identifying verb phrases in sentences.
We wrapped up our study of Indiana becoming a state. Students will have a Chapter 3 test on Tuesday, December 15. A review sheet came home today!
Students will have a science test on the solar system this Friday!
There will be no vocabulary test on Friday. Students will have a spelling test this Friday on geometry words.
On Monday afternoon, students will watch The Nativity with the middle school.
On Friday, December 18 we will have our Christmas Program at Church beginning at 8:45. I hope to see all of you there. Students may leave after the program. If your child stays, we will have a 1:00 dismissal.
I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
