We will be having a test in math over chapter 8 on Tuesday. There will not be any homework that evening for math. Wednesday, we begin chapter 9 which is on measurement.
In reading, we will be reading the story "The Moon Seems to Change". This uses technical drawings and illustrations to explain the lunar phases. Key skills for this story are cause and effect, classifying, and using diagrams. A Magic School Bus solar system book will be assigned to your child to read over the weekend and be ready to take an AR test on Tuesday as Monday we have no school.
Our spelling paragraph this week is:
We have a special homework assignment to design and build a container to hold our Valentine cards. Each student's mailbox needs to be in the shape of a particular hobby, favorite sport, animal, or collections. All supplies must be recycled from around the house and not specifically bought for this project. Each container must have an opening for the cards to be inserted and another one for them to be removed. Students are challenged to create a spectacular mailbox that will be unique, original,and creative.
This paragraph is also an explanation for the homework assignment. They can bring these boxes to school with their Valentines on Thursday. Be creative! So no child feels left out, please make sure if your child brings Valentines, they make bring one for everyone.
We will be having a healthy heart party on Friday at 2:00. Please no cupcakes, cookies, etc. We are focusing on healthy eating and good food choices. Your child may have signed up to bring something. Please let me know if this is not possible.
Don't forget our Room 14 night with the Americans is Friday night. It is breast cancer awareness night so make sure you wear pink! Thank you for all your support.
