Week of October 8th

No school Monday - Columbus Day!

Please check your child's grades online as it is mid-semester this week.

Language Arts
We will be continuing our unit on nouns this week. The students will be designing an animal out of different animal parts as a hands on activity for possesive nouns. They will also be writing a poem about a family member using only proper nouns. Students will recieve a study guide on Friday Oct. 12 to complete over the weekend, and they will be tested on Unit 2 - Nouns on Monday Oct. 15th. The study guide should be used as a study aide, because the majority of the test questions will come directly from the study guide. Help your child review for this test.

Math
In math we will be continuing with Chapter 2 through this week. We will be reviewing how to add and subtract decimals, two and three digit numbers, and incorporating rounding throughout. Your student will be recieving homework each night, and will be taking thorough notes in class to assist with homework. We will also be playing Math Jeopardy on Friday for fabulous math prizes.
