ELA Updates
We are also working on broadening our vocabulary using words from the text. Their first round is due tomorrow. Those words and work are in their ELA notebooks. Their notebooks can go home, but please make sure they come back the next day. We use them in class daily. Vocabulary test will be announced in a week or so. The "Hatchet" Assessment will also be within the next two weeks, but a study guide will come home to study first.
Several parents have asked about items needed for the classroom. We have been doing a lot of projects and activities, many of which require lots of glue sticks, construction paper, markers, and tape. We are completely out of glue sticks and almost completely out of the rest. So if you'd like to donate to our supplies, we would greatly appreciate it!
Math Updates
Math is in need of Clorox wipes and boxes of Kleenex.
Science Updates
Thursday and Friday we will set up Heat Transfer Explore Centers where students will further explore the significance of heat transfer in our daily lives. Examples include monitoring temperature inside and outside a sock/how heat flows, learning how knowing about heat transfer, can help firefighters and people be safer in a fire, etc. Ms. Long will demonstrate some "Magic Tricks" using heat transfer, and eventually students will conduct an experiment on heat transfer.
We will quiz over the topic next week.
