Week of December 10th

Hello Families!  Here is the agenda for the busy week ahead:

Reading - The children should finish their novels this week if they haven't already done so.  They are due next Tuesday.  We will do a character trait project with it. (I described this project in last week's post.)

Spelling - Christmas words (This list is found on spellingcity.  The enriched list is the "o" enriched list.)

English - Owl Reports are due on Wednesday.

Math - Long Division and Algebra

We will be doing benchmark testing this week in math and reading.

Please look for your child's NE Region location test and capital test results.  Most did well on the location test, buy many failed the capital test.  We practice USA locations every week in computer lab, so I know that helped with that test.  :( I know it is a busy time, but please make sure your child studies for tests.  They are getting old enough to show some responsibility on their own, but they are still pretty young and need some guidance and help to learn good study habits.  Thanks!

We will also be practicing everyday for our 4th grade program.  Dress Rehearsal will be Thursday at 8:45a.m. and the actual program will be 6:00p.m..  Please make sure your child is wearing the appropriate attire as stated in the note sent home last week.

We will be making our gingerbread houses this Wednesday!  Fun! Please make sure your child has the requested supplies: one tub of white frosting, one bag of candy, and one package of graham crackers.  Parents who volunteered...thanks so much for helping!! If you signed up to help with set up/clean up, please be here at 1:15.  If you signed up to mix candy, I will send home the candy and ziplocks with your child on Tuesday.  Thanks again!!
