We have been busy at school these past few weeks! In math we have taken a few days to practice time and money. This week we also took our end of the trimester assessment! We will continue to practice place value into next week.
Spelling words will continue to come home every Wednesday. The spelling tests may look a little different these days... each test is worth 20pts. I will give them one point for spelling the word correctly, and one point for writing it under the proper heading. Because Tuesday mornings tend to get busy, spelling tests will be given at the latest, Wednesday morning. Please make sure your child turns in spelling homework by Tuesday.
Fruit Roll-ups inspired our writing this week! Students used their five senses to "experience" a fruit roll-up. Each child collected information on what they heard, smelled, felt, saw, and finally tasted. They then turned this information into a yummy descriptive paragraph!
Wednesday your child brought home a conference confirmation form and topics to discuss form. Please sign and return at your earliest convenience. I am looking forward to seeing you all in just a few weeks!
A few family turkeys have started to trickle in. Turkeys are due Tuesday November 3rd... be creative and have fun with them!
In science we continue to study about the body systems. We first looked at the skeletal, muscular, and digestive systems. Each student assembled a skeleton, and then made a costume for it to wear on Halloween!
