Week of 12/19

Hi Families! Hope you are enjoying the busy, but wonderful Christmas season! The children have been busy little beavers this week! They have been multiplying large numbers, turning their owl research into nicely written reports in paragraph form, (This is challenging because there is so much to remember.....complete sentences with capitalization and punctuation, indention, paragraph form, holes on the left side of the paper, not going past the margins, having enough content!!!) dissecting owl pellets, a challenging, but beautiful art project, leveled book assignments, etc.... Wow! So proud of them though....they are doing awesome!!  Here is next week's agenda:

Reading - Leveled books with assignment

Spelling - Christmas words

English - Pen pal letters

Science - Ben Franklin and Thomas Edison

Math - 2 digit X's 2 digit multiplication

We will also be doing benchmark testing in reading and math on Tuesday and Wednesday. 

One other important note:  We had class spelling and geography bees this week.  Monday will be the playoff class bees.  The winners of the geography bee are: Kylie, Rebekah, David, Gabi, Makayla, and Colby.  The winners of the spelling bee are Haylie, Cyson, Colby, Rebekah, and Alexis.  Monday's playoff will determine our class winners that move on to the school bees.  I sent home study guides on Wednesday.
