Weekly Update

Writing/Spelling
Students are doing a great job with their personal essays, and we will finish them this week! Then, we will move on to our persuasive essays!  It will be nice to have the same structure and organization for both pieces.   The Spelling Test will be next Friday, November 13th.

Reading
In reading groups, we practiced fluency by reading The Legend of Sleepy Hollow play this past week!  Then, we watched a video of the story told by Glenn Close!  We will continue to read debates from our StoryWorks magazines to support our essay unit. 

Math
We will start Chapter 5 tomorrow.  It is very important that students know their multiplication facts because we will multiply by 2-digit numbers in this chapter!

Social Studies
The Chapter 2 ("Our State Today") Test will be this Friday, November 6th.  Students will recieve the study guide tomorrow in class.  They will need to know the surrounding states of Missouri, the capital of Missouri, famous Missourians, how to find location using latitude and longitude, and how to read a population map.  We will continue with Chapters 3 ("The First People of Missouri") and 4 ("The Arrival of Europeans") before resuming in our science studies.  

The Halloween Party!
A big THANK YOU to all parents who brought in party supplies and volunteered at the Halloween Party!  Students had a blast!
