Friday was Veterans’ Day and we had a wonderful assembly honoring our own veterans (those who have a connection to our Panthers.) We thank those of you who have served our country and it was an amazing assembly!
We have one more week to go in Trimester 1. Please make sure you keep an eye on your child’s grades.
Coming up next week:
Spelling: New spelling lists will be coming home on Monday. Completed menu/homework will be due on or before December 2. We are giving an additional week because of the short week with Thanksgiving break. Please make sure your child does one activity from each column. A test on your child’s list will be also be on 12/2.
Reading & Language Arts: There is a fun activity coming home. Students are asked to “disguise” a turkey using any materials they can find. The turkey and the letter describing this activity went home Friday. They are due on or before Wednesday. We will then start a writing assignment to go along with the disguised turkey. We’ll also be writing a turkey cinquain.
Please keep reading and filling out the November reading log. It will be due on or before November 30th.
Social Studies: We will finish our Downers Grove history unit this week. A study guide will be going home Tuesday and a quiz on the history of DG will take place on Tuesday, November 22. We’ll then start reading about modern day Downers Grove. Our DG field trip will be on November 29. If you are interested in volunteering please sign your name at the bottom of the permission slip. I can only take two this time, but we will have additional opportunities for field trip volunteers after winter break.
Science: We are on hiatus while we learn about Downers Grove.
Mrs. Mandru's Math Class: This week we’ll continue Unit 3 on multi-digit addition and subtraction. We have been learning different methods to find an answer. On Tuesday, students will be completing a short “work sample” and on Thursday, there will be a short checkpoint quiz.
Important Dates:
11/23 - 11/25 - Thanksgiving break
11/29 - DG field trip for Mandru/Pellin
