Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving

After an unexpected day at home, we have a busy two days!

This week in Math, we will teach Friday's lesson on functions, and what we had planned for Monday as well.  So today, we are combining functions and finding a pattern in problem solving.  We will test tomorrow so that we do not have a long break before testing our new skills.

In Science, we will have an investigation on electricity and creating a light bulb.  On Tuesday, we will double up our lessons on electricity, as well.  

In Spelling, we will test today and review any missed words on Tuesday.

In Reading, students will apply comprehension strategies from What Was the First Thanksgiving? .

In English Language Arts, we will catch up presentations and listening skills.

We have a busy week!  Thank you to all of you who donated food, toys, and/or money to our families in need.  You are helping your children learn the value of giving to those less fortunate.  What an awesome thing!

As a head's up, students will begin taking the NWEA computerized tests the week we return from Thanksgiving Break.  We will also begin DRA reading testing soon.  AR points are to be finished by Christmas break, so we have three weeks to get to 10 points!  Most are already there!  Yippee!  

Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!  I am thankful to have such a wonderful class, and such supportive parents!  You make my job so much easier.
