Today, we got to hear some great persuasive speeches from our 11 candidates running for Student Council. The votes were quite close, but the following students have been elected. They are Megan, Aiden, Ilyssa, and our alternate is Lainey. Congratulations to all 4 of you. I know you will do a great job of representing our class. Thank you to all 11 who tried out. It took lots of courage to get up in front of the class and give your speeches.
2 digit x 2 digit multiplication in math is needing some practice so please have your child do 2-3 problems nightly and check them for them and give any help or feedback as needed. We started time today and hopefully we all have time to the minute so we can start elapsed time. We are also doing quick Geometry lessons each day to get the skills and vocabulary going.
In Science, we finished our "skin" book today and introduced the 3 layers of skin. If your child can tell you one of them, write skin in the planner. Also, if they can tell you whose speech they liked the most, write Student Council for more money.
In Social Studies, we finished our Midwest tour and so our test will be on Friday for the states and capitals. I know they will do great. Remember they need to have location too.
In my reading, we are going to try and finish our books by the holiday break. I know 2 groups will for sure this week and then next week, we are going to do some non-fiction with them.
Remember Monday, December 19th is the Music Program at 9:30 and again at 1:00.
Polar Express Day is on Wednesday, December 21st. I will be sending home a sheet with the items that will be needed for the polar express trains by Friday. Students have until Friday to buy-in. We have all, but 2 that have bought in so ask your child if they have or not.
Thank you to Grayson and his mom for sharing the ferrets on Friday. They sure have a lot of characteristics in common with otters.
Have a great night.
