Language:
Wordly Wise: We will continue working on Wordly Wise Lesson 6 this week. The test over these words will be this Friday, November 17.
Writing: We will be working on persuasive writing between now and Thanksgiving. Students will be taking the perspective of a plump turkey who is convincing the farmer not to eat him. They are doing a great job and have creative ideas so far!
Math:
We will be taking our unit 2 math test tomorrow, November 14. We will do some fraction review activities at the end of this week and beginning of next week.
Indiana History:
We will be finishing up our torn paper maps this week.
Reading:
I have started reading the book, Wonder by R.J. Palacio, aloud to the kids. We will be reviewing fiction reading strategies as we read this book. The movie of this book comes out in theaters November 17.
Science:
We will be reviewing electrical circuits this week and next week. Next week, I will assess them by having them construct a circuit for me.

Attention Stonegate Families!
Purchase your gift cards for the holidays NOW through our PTO’s Scrip Program. Stonegate earns rebates on the total face value of every card ordered, which is free money for the school … And you’ll get some shopping done early!
Gift cards are perfect for coworkers, general gift exchanges, grandparents, nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts, etc. Now is the perfect time to get those gift cards for teachers and school staff as well!
Most of the gift cards purchased through this program are just like the ones you’d find at the stores.
However, for some online retailers such as Amazon, paper coupons are issued. They present as nicely as a gift card, and function just the same.
This is a one-stop shop for all of your gift card needs!
Simply print and complete the attached order form and send the completed form with payment to school with your child by Friday, November 17th. No late orders can be accepted!!!
