Hello!
Hope all had a lovely long weekend!
Announcements:
1. IMPORTANT: Conferences are Thursday, October 22nd from 12:30 - 3:30 or 6:00 - 7:30. I only have a handful of conference forms returned. If you would like a conference, please return the form that went home this past Friday. If you need another, you can print it from the South website (Go to the Stoughton backpack, I think), or send a note and I will send home another. We are trying our best to put sibling conferences close together.
2. This Sunday, October 17th is the PTO Pumpkin Patch fundraiser!
3. There is no spelling list this week because of the short week.
Updates:
Math: We have completed Topic 2 (tests will come home this week) and are moving into Topic 3. The main focus of this unit is multi-digit multiplication. It will also introduce exponents and a few other multiplication concepts.
Reading: We are reading the last few chapters of Number the Stars this week. The book includes some great discussion topics and students are really enjoying it!
Writing: We are continuing work on our Narrative writing pieces. Students have chosen a memory to write a story about. This week we will be working on writing catchy leads to start our stories and re-writing our first drafts. We will be typing our narratives on google docs.
Science: We finished our planets unit last week and took an assessment. That will be coming home Wednesday. We will continue our space studies with the reasons for day and night and the seasons this week, and students will have a short quiz on this material.
Have a great week!
Molly
