Halloween Parade & Party:
Please have your child bring their costume in a bag with their name. The children will only have about 10 minutes to change into costumes. They will not be allowed to change in the washrooms. We will have a room designated for boys and a room for girls to change into their costumes. There will not be a lot of time to put on make-up either. Keep it simple!!!!! The parade begins around 1:15.
Homeroom Happenings:
Spelling - The children will take a spelling pretest on Monday. If they have -1 or none, they will become a challenge speller. Students who miss 2 or more will work with the regular weekly list. All assignments are due on Friday. (With Halloween on Thursday, please have your child work ahead of schedule to make sure they complete their work for Friday.) The challenge and regular weekly tests will be on Friday.
English - We will finish our unit on Nouns this week. The children will learn about plural possessive nouns. We will also review for our Unit 2 test which will be on Monday, November 4.
Reading - We will continue our study of Informational (Non-fiction) text. The children will be reading about storms this week. We will also do some "close" reading of our Time For Kids magazine. Please make sure your child brings their magazine to class each day.
Science - We will continue to answer the question - "How do organisms compete and survive in an ecosystem?" Your children should review their vocabulary words and notes each evening. This will help prepare them for the test - one lesson at a time. Our focus at the beginning of the week will be on the predator-prey relationship. The children will take a quiz on Chapter 6, lesson 1 on Wednesday.
Social Studies - The students will read about the Battle of the Spanish Armada, which turned England's attention away from founding colonies for a while. Then we will learn about the first successful English colony, Jamestown. The children will be taking notes in class. They should review these notes each evening.
