Week of 15-19

Important:Please continue to sign your child's assignment books.
If you would like to still donate to the classroom treasure chest, please send in the items with your child. 
Halloween is right around the corner, here is some details about that day:
Parade and party is on Wednesday, October 31
The parade time is still being taken into consideration, I will inform you as soon as I know the time. The party will follow right after the parade.
Costumes are to be brought in with your child on Wednesday
Students cannot wear their costumes to school
Remember, we only have a short time to change and we will be changing in the classroom (one class for boys, another for girls).  Please make sure their costumes are suitable for this.  Trips to the bathroom are not allowed
No weapons of any kind are allowed.
 Math
In Math this week, we are continuing chapter 3 Addition. A graded review on adding two and three digit numbers will be on Monday, October 15, 2012 and the chapter test will be on Friday, October 10, 2012. A good way to study with your child is reviewing the packet in their Math folder, as well as, doing the chapter test in the textbook.
Spelling
We will be on List 8 this week. The Pretest is on Monday and the final test will be on Friday. If your child gets 0,1, or 2 wrong on the pretest they will have 2 challenge activities and the cursive sheet, they have the option to take the test on Friday. If they get more than 2 words wrong, they will have the regular work. (Cursive sheet and two assigned activities) The homework is due on Thursday.
English:
We are going to dive right into descriptive/persuasive writing as we prepare to write a haunted house story. We will be persuading someone to buy our haunted house. Then we will be decorating a haunted house that will match our description.
Social Studies
We have finished continents and oceans and studying hemispheres. The students will need to be familiar with the equator and the prime meridian, as well as, the four hemispheres. A quiz over the hemispheres will be Friday, October 19, 2012.
Science
In Science, we will be starting chapter 4-Ecosystems towards the end of next week.
Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy time with your families!
