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 The Candymakers novel study students will complete character profiles for each of the four main characters. Students will use the characters' traits, emotions, relationships, motivations, and conflicts to do so. As students begin Part 5 they will explore story devices like cliffhangers, foreshadowing, suspense, and flashbacks. Students will continue to use the reasoning model during informational practice to reason about an event or situation to have a better understanding of it. Students will take the Wordly Wise list 10 test on Friday. In writing students will draft and peer conference with their introduction paragraph to their persuasive essays.
Math: This week students will use division to create equivalent fractions, use benchmark fractions to compare fractions, and find other strategies that will help them compare and order fractions.
Social Studies: Using the QFT from last week students will complete a web quest about the Trail of Tears. Students will begin reading the National Geographic History of the Southeast readers.
Science: Students will investigate a wold pack and learn how to describe traits. They will ask questions about the wolves and will explore trait similarities and variations in human traits too.
