Specials Schedule:
Monday:
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. Please try to keep their snacks healthy! Make sure to pack it separate from their lunch as well!
MSI Field Trip: We will be going to The Museum of Science and Industry on 10/18 to take part in the pendulum lab and explore the museum. Permission slips were sent home last week! Please return them ASAP if you have not already. Students will need to bring a sack lunch on Wednesday. We will be eating at the Museum!

In The Classroom
Language Arts: This week in Language Arts we will continue to focus on Plot Structure and identifying it's parts as we read The Monster Who Grew Small in JGB. As usual we will also analyze the story using our literature web. Students have been working hard on summarizing informational text. This week we will move on to finding the main idea. Students will read an article on teaching gender stereotypes. With a little help from BrainPop and whole class practice together students will determine the main idea and support that main idea with three to four details from the text. Students will also finish reading the Northeast History packet which focuses on The Harlem Renaissance and Irish immigration to Boston in the 1800's. In writing students will begin drafting their small moment narratives.
