Homeroom Happenings:
Spelling - The children will take a spelling pretest on Monday.  Any student with a perfect score on the pretest will become a challenge speller.  All other students will work on the regular weekly list.  All activities/workbook pages are due on Friday.  Both tests will be on Friday.

English - We will begin our unit on Capitalization and Punctuation this week.  The children will work on correcting sentences with missing punctuation, capitalization, and those that are run-ons.  Also, students will capitalize proper nouns & proper adjectives.  Finally, we will review using commas in a series.

Reading - The children will begin their PhotoStory project this week.  They will use their fantasy/sci-fi script to create their PhotoStory.  We will work on this project for most of this week and part of next week.

Science - On Wednesday, the children will take an open-book review of our unit on space exploration.  We will also begin a tech project this week using a website called PhotoPeach.  This is my first time using this, so we will all learn together.

Social Studies - We will continue chapter 9.  The children will be taking notes throughout the week. They should review those notes each evening.
