This morning we competed against each other in identifying the U.S. waterways. THERE IS A TEST ON THE WATERWAYS TOMORROW MORNING. Students should just do their best.
TOMORROW IS ALSO THE LANGUAGE ARTS TEST. Please review the use of 'a' and 'an' before adjectives and nouns. (If the word starts with a vowel, we use the word "an"; if a consonant, we use "a".
Students should be finishing off their 3-point paragraphs and business letters. 3-POINT PARAGRAPHS ARE DUE TUESDAY. They should be typed, with a centered heading, centered "by Name", and indented paragraph. They should also be illustrated neatly and colorfully with a border.
BUSINESS LETTERS ARE DUE NEXT THURSDAY. They should be typed to the very left, use correct punctuation and capitalisation, and split into paragraphs. Correct headings and closings. I will send home a sample tomorrow. We will be labeling envelopes next week. PLEASE HAVE YOUR CHILD BRING A 46c STAMP IN SO WE CAN SEND THE LETTERS NEXT WEEK.
Keep reading your biography and start working on your book report. BOOK REPORTS ARE DUE THE LAST WEEK OF THE MONTH. You may choose any creative way to share information about your person's life.
MATH HOMEWORK IS EXERCISE 1. We received new math books today. Please review place value with your child. Specifically, 0.1 is one tenth, 0.01 is one hundredth, and 0.001 is one thousandth.
After foreign language we covered our puppet heads and started glueing eyes. PLEASE BRING IN EMPTY TOILET PAPER TUBES TOMORROW. We need them to make the shoulders of the puppets. Also, material (2'x2') for the basic costume would be great. Students will be taking these puppets home to finish decorating. They will be able to make a patriot or redcoat when their celebrity is finished.
Skiing minicourse and others were very successful. Thank you so much to parents who volunteered to do this!
