12/10/12 - 12/14/12

     I hope you had a chance to attend Cookies with Santa on Friday.  It was a lot of fun, and I enjoyed being one of the readers in the library.  Now for the real Christmas only a couple weeks away.  Of course there is a lot to do both at home and at school.  I've tried to get the last major tests in for science and social studies so that you wouldn't need to worry about these subjects too close to the holidays.  However, I postponed the Ch. 8 social studies test until tomorrow because I wanted to be sure to get a review game in before we took the test.  Hopefully students know the material well by now.
Here's what is happening this week:
Math- We are continuing to work on Think Math lessons.  There will be a test over Think Math either this Friday or next Monday.  We'll just have to see how it goes.  Also, please continue to work on 2x and 5x facts.  They both need to be memorized!
Writing - Personal narratives need to be turned in by this Friday!
Spelling - New spelling words come out tomorrow.  These will be for the last test of the quarter.
Reading - We have finished main idea and are working on locating important ideas in our reading texts.  Students should should this skill when taking ourn evaluate tests.
Science - The class is working on researching a planet of their choice. 
Social Studies - We are wrapping up government tomorrow.  After that the class will be finding information about an American symbol or monument and creating some kind of picture or object to go along with it.  We'll just see how it goes!
