Wow, this grading period is really flying by quickly. I hope everyone had a great week off and is back into the swing of things.
First thing you need to know is that I will be out for the next three days. I had planned a trip for this Friday - Monday and then learned that I'm to attend a planning in-service on Thursday. So, I have decided to not give homework in addition to Reading, IXL and Spelling City for the rest of the week. (I'm sure you're bummed about that.)
Here is what you can expect:
Math:
- Continue division
- chapter 12 test Thursday
- IXL focus should be on division
Language Arts:
- capitals, punctuation, quotation marks
- vocabulary (synonyms, antonyms, homophones, context clues)
- research skills
- main idea, supporting details
- making connections
- author's purpose
- asking questions
- making predictions
- comparing characters
- spelling (contractions)
- sort 13 this week
- sort 14 next week
Unit of Study:
- Frederick Douglas (check the social studies folder in the binder. There are study sheets.)
- test on Friday
Friday's Guest Reader is Jacob's Mom.
We have our field trip next Tuesday. Please have your Grizzly in their class shirt.
Now a note from our counselors:
Dear Sope Creek Family.
We are holding our annual Holiday Bear gift card program and would like you to consider making a gift card donation to help our Sope Creek families during this holiday season. Bears with store and amount designations are posted on the main bulletin board in the school lobby. Please consider helping by taking a bear and obtaining a gift card. Gift cards can be returned to your child’s grade level counselor by December 15. Your generosity will help to make this a brighter holiday for many of our children and their families. Thank you in advance, and may each of you have a wonderful holiday.
Your Counselors
