Weekly Update

Writing
This past week we edited our personal essays.  These are due by this Friday.  Then, we will work on our persuasive essays.  The next Spelling Test is Friday, November 11th. Students should have their words in their binders.  

Reading 



In reading groups, we are continuing to research natural disasters, study text structure, and notice different text features as we prepare for an upcoming research project.  Stay tuned for more details.  


Math
This past week students learned how to multiply two-digit by two-digit numbers using the traditional method.  Students watched the video below to help them with "Turtlehead Multiplication." The Chapter 5 Math Test is this Friday, 11/11.  Study guides should be in students' binders.  As a reminder, students should be coming home with math worksheets with either checks (all correct) or "Fix #s..".  


Social Studies 
In Chapter 2 this week, we learned about Native American tribes and The French who used to call Missouri home.  We will continue in this chapter this week.  

Halloween Party
Thank you to all parents who volunteered for the Halloween Party!  The students had a blast!  












Other Important Info. 
  • Remember, XtraMath is a resource to help students with their multiplication facts.  All students came home with a username and password.  
  • All tests should be signed and returned.  The Chapter 4 Math Test did not have a stamp on it, but it should still come back to school with a signature if possible.  
  • Long's Music Program is this Thursday, 11/10.  
  • There is No School November 7th and 8th. Enjoy the 4-day weekend!
