CONFERENCES

  A reminder that parent-teacher conferences are this month. A sheet with your child’s time will be sent home the first week in November.

MATH

  The class is completing the place value unit. There will be a test on this unit on Thursday, November 5. Students may review pages 64, 80, 102, and 104 to study for the test. Problems for the test will be like the ones on these pages.

  Our next math unit will be on problem solving with 2 and 3 digit multiplication of whole numbers and decimals.

SCIENCE/HEALTH

  Students have completed their study of the skeletal system. We will now take a look at the digestive system. (yuck!)

  SOCIAL STUDIES

  In 1750 most people living in the American Colonies considered themselves to be good English citizens. Yet twenty-five years later they were in full rebellion against King George III and Parliament.

  What happened in those years is the subject of our next unit, The American Revolution.

  A contract for this unit will be sent home on Tuesday, November 17.

WRITING

  There will be two writing projects connected to the social studies contract. The first of these is a report on one of the people, places, or events related to the American Revolution. The second project is an historical narrative (story) that takes place during this time period.

  More information on this is included in the contract. We will also discuss expectations and requirements together as a class.

READING

  Reading will be incorporated into the social studies unit. It will include reading several small books written by Jean Fritz about the people of the American Revolution.
