November 2

Red Ribbon week has been a lot of fun.  I enjoyed seeing everything from the crazy socks to the backwards shirts.  :-)

Reading Skill: Cause and Effect Relationships
Writing: Parts of Speech
Math: Fractions- greatest common factor, least common multiple

Greek and Latin Roots: trans-= “across, change” (transplant, transfusion, transpose, transfer, transport, transform, transmit, transfer, transgression, transit)
Social Studies: Colonies

Science:  Solar System-  earth, moon, sun. Please see the link for Miss Howell's class for more detailed information.

STUDY GUIDES FOR SOCIAL STUDIES-  I have added study guides to the  study guide section of this class blog.  Although we have just started this unit, it is never too early to start having discussions about the topics.  Please utilize this resource, as many teachers do not give out study guides this early.  Take advantage of this!!  Thank you. 

There are several fliers coming home in Friday folders.  Please look through them to see if you would like to fill any out and return to school. 

You are also getting artwork that your child designed.  There is information about ordering the artwork.  Please return this as soon as possible, and I will pass it along to the art teacher.
