Snack Announcement: This year our recess/lunch period is from 11:35 - 12:20. Students will go to recess first and then lunch. Lunch will begin at 11:57. Since lunch is much later than the students are used to they are allowed to bring a morning snack with them and, of course, a water bottle.
SNACKS MUST BE NUT FREE, PACKED IN A SEPARATE BAG OR CONTAINER FROM THEIR LUNCH, and HEALTHY!
Attendance: Please make sure your child is coming to school on time. School begins at 8:30 and there is work to be done immediately. If they are coming in late it will become difficult for them to catch up. Also please try to schedule all appointments during after school hours (dentists, doctors, etc.) While I realize this might be difficult at times and necessary, there has been a lot of early dismissals this year. This makes it hard to move the class forward through the curriculum.

In The Classroom
Language Arts: This week in Junior Great Books we will begin reading one of three stories in which the theme is kindness. Students will continue asking questions, analyzing through literature webs, and begin summarizing fiction. Students will continue to work on small group and partner reading norms. For informational this week students will read about the upcoming midterm elections. They will be reading about what they are about not who is running and on what platforms. Students will summarize the article and discuss the main idea. Students will continue on List 3 in Wordly Wise and complete 3D and 3E. The test will be on Friday. In writing we will celebrate the published narrative paragraphs and move onto to small moment narratives.
Math: We are beginning a long unit on multiplication. This week students mental math with powers of 10, estimating products to check for reasonableness, the distributive property of multiplication, using these properties for mental math, and partial products.
Science: We will continue our unit on balancing forces by reading about forces as well as adding another layer to our moving blocks experiment.
Social Studies: We will begin a unit on Northeast History as well as states and capitals of that region.
