Curriculum Corner
The kids have started typing their narratives. We will plan to finish typing this week and do final edits and conferences next week. They have been on some fun and exciting adventures!

We are finishing our work with adjectives this week and will spend next week identifying nouns, pronouns, and adjectives within a sentence.
Indiana History
We have been reviewing latitude, longitude, and relative location in class this week. We will have a quiz over these concepts on Thursday.
Science
Science Fair is almost here! The kids have been working hard and can't wait to share their projects with you. Classrooms will be open starting at 12:15 on Friday.
Math
Tomorrow is our test over addition, subtraction, and data. The next chapter will cover measurement and multiplication. Practicing multiplication facts at home will be very helpful in this chapter!
How is My Child Doing?

Please remember that my grading policy is that students can retake tests or correct questions for 1/2 credit for any assignment that is lower than a 70%. That being said, I have told the kids that it is their responsibility to come to me when they are ready to retake a test. For this quarter, I will need all retakes and corrections turned in by Wednesday, October 14 so I have time to get them graded and entered before grades are due.
