Thank you-Thank you

Once again thank you for our visits during conference time. I enjoyed our time very much. This week is going to be another busy week. Following are some of the happenings: Math-we will be writing story problems using multi-steps/operations. Also, continuing to practice our multiplication algorithms. We will add on algebraic multiplication/division equations and finding the rule for in/out boxes. In Social Studies, we will begin the week with Veteran's Day. We will read the book: "America's White Table" and then learn about the history behind Veteran's Day along with watching the "changing of the guards" in Washington D.C. Then we will finally get on our tour of the Northeast. Keep practicing those states and capitals. The test will be not this week, but the next. In Language, we are continuing to work on verbs, but adding in more suffixes & homophones. In Reading, we are continuing to find & write examples of figurative language. We are also starting Selection 3 in our readers. Skills/strategies we are going to work on are: Making predictions, writing questions for discussion, and writing summaries. We will also practice synonyms/antonyms with the voc. words from their section. No Science as we are going to take a break so we can get through Social Studies. In Computer time, we will continue with ReadAbout & Success Maker, but now we will be adding a keyboarding program for practice. Since we won't have the extra time to do the XtraMath, please continue to keep doing it online at home like many of you are. Thank you. Today Kaitlin shared Student of the Week things. We found out she likes to collect diamonds. Yes, can you believe it?? Not real ones though-darn!!! We loved all the things she shared with us-keep working & playing hard in softball. You will be on the Skyview High School team someday-I know-then I can come and watch you. That about sums up the week. Have a great weekend.
