It's our seventh week of school and have a lot of fun things to look forward to in the month of October!!! In Science this month we'll be taking a look at animals (specifically owls and bats) and their habitats. In Social Studies we'll begin learning about the election process. We'll also be sampling pumpkin muffins and making pumpkin ice cream in class this month, yum! Looking forward to another GREAT week!
Assessment Week
Once every 5 weeks we have an in-class Language Arts assessment. This test looks a look at the retained knowledge of the previous 5 weeks we have studied in Language Arts. Because of the assessment we do not assign spelling words nor do we have a spelling test this Friday. Instead, students will be coming home with a two-sided practice page each night for homework, along with a math page.
Homework Change
Beginning with Unit 2 of our Language Arts curriculum (next week), we will be switching homework slightly. Instead of sending home a weekly comprehension book, students will receive a second spelling page with a practice spelling test to take at home on the back. Also, we will include more specific directions for the weekly writing prompt that will be attached to the homework. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!
