Dear Parents,
Here's what's happening at school this week.
Toys for Tots
English
The students did a great job revising and editing their novels last week. This week we will be working on figurative language and practicing for the spelling bee.
We will be studying a mentor sentence each week to learn more about grammar. Students will have a quiz on Friday about the grammar we have learned.
The classroom spelling bee will be held Friday, December 15 during class time.
Math
Last week, students finished Chapter three with more practice with the coordinate plane. After reviewing for the Chapter 3 test, students took the Chapter 3 test on Thursday and Friday. They have a couple of homework assignments due on Monday. They are: Page 193(2-11)/Page 194(1-6), Page 199(2-6)/Page 200(1-6), and the Chapter Review (Pages 201-206).
