October 11-15, 2010

Conference week begins this Monday. THERE WILL BE NO HOMEWORK CLUB. Everyday will be restructured with students getting out at 12:20. I look forward to speaking with all of you about your child's progress so far this year.

Instead of a spelling packet this week, there will be a comprehension page with main idea and details attached to multiplication of the 3's, 4's, and 5's. This packet will be due on Friday. Landform projects are due this Tuesday. Please be sure that every part is labeled and the dimensions are no more than 12x18 inches.

Literature Circle Job is due this Wednesday, October 13th. Please be sure your child reads ALL of the assigned pages or chapters written on the upper right or left hand corner of the job. Your child's job should only cover this assigned section of the book. HINT: It may be helpful to write a draft and then transfer the content to the final paper. On Wednesday, be sure your child brings the BOOK AND JOB to school. Students give their reports around 8:05 AM. Be sure to have your child practice reading his/her report, so he/she can read it aloud on 10/13. It's important that the book be turned in on time so that they do not get lost.

In math we are beginning subtraction up to the thousands with borrowing. Some students need to practice borrowing of 2 digit numbers before going further to larger numbers. Your child may need support with his/her homework. I will slow down a bit through this chapter, so math homework will vary this week and next.

We began the pig projects last week and need some more paper towel/toilet paper rolls on Monday so we can finish this week. I have had some wonderful help with this project and am very thankful to those who have come in to this gluey, messy project. They will be cute when finished, but it has not been an easy task.

Have a wonderful weekend!
