LA - Scary stories are late, get those in please!
How-to writing *with* the self assessment / planning sheet is due Tuesday, November 13th. Please check everything carefully before you hand it in to be sure you're not missing any parts.
We have started working on our booktalk / book reports. Students must have decided which project and book they will be doing by Friday, November 16th. No changing after that, as you will not have time to finish if you do! Projects are due November 27th. We will have lots of time in class to work on the projects, but students may need to bring in supplies to complete them.
That sounds like a lot, but it's really not so bad!
Math - A new letter has gone home explaining this math unit - all about patterns, tables and graphing. There are practice questions you can work on with your student. Keep working on those math facts - adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing! Try to figure out totals at the store etc. before you get to the checkout. Look for patterns in real life.
Science - The yeast lab should be written up neatly, all questions answered, and handed in.
SS - Try to find some evidence of your family's original culture, still in your family today
Exploratory - Survey questions are due next class
Other - Student-led conferences are Thursday evening and Friday morning.
There is a scholastic book fair going on that will be open during those times as well.
A reminder that there is no school for students on Friday, and none for anybody on Monday!
