For Your Information:
1st Trimester Conferences
I have either sent a conference form or email to parents regarding a conference date and time. Please respond quickly so that I am able to make changes for parents who need to be rescheduled. Thank you to those who have already confirmed appointments!
Email Reminders to Parents
If you gave me an email address at the beginning of the school year, I have you as part of a "group" to email each week with a direct link to my blog page. I am hoping that this makes it easier for parents to access the important information about our classroom. On Friday, November 9th I will send a reminder email for the first time - please let me know if you do not receive an email reminder this week!!!
Subject Update:
- Spelling - Lesson 11: Consonant + y words with endings -er and -est
- English/Writing - The students will learn about singular and plural possessive nouns.
- Reading - The students will find out which detective club cracked the most cases correctly next week. Then we will move on to another genre - realistic fiction. Realistic fiction stories are not true, but they could happen in real life.
- Science - The students will complete some activities to help them better understand structural and behavioral adaptations. A structural adaptation is part of the animal's body that helps it survive in its environment. A behavioral adaptation is something it does (a way it acts) that helps it survive.
- Social Studies - Chapter 5 will tell us about the people and history of the Northeast. We will begin by learning about the Narragansett - one of the many Native American groups who live in the region.
- Accelerated Math - The students will review estimating products and multiplying by one-digit numbers before moving on to multiplication by larger numbers.
