11/5/18 Announcements and Updates

We are inching closer and closer to Thanksgiving break.  Can you believe it?  But, until then we are working HARD in class.

I am very pleased to see our progress through IXL.  We have answered over 3,000 questions, have mastered 53 skills and are proficient in 76 skills! WOW!  Keep up the great work at home.  Teamwork makes the dream work!

Reading
We are learning how to research and how to use the information from our research to inform an audience.  The project they are working on in school is for school only.  I will not send it home for homework.

Writing
We will have a writing prompt pre-assessment on Wednesday. There is nothing to prepare for.  This is to see where students are in opinion writing.  We are also discussing the differences between prefixes and suffixes.

Math
I am excited that the students are excited about multiplication.  We are learning how to use diagrams to solve multiplication problems.

Social Studies
We are finishing up "Mounting Tension in the Colonies" this week.  With that said, assessments will be on Monday, November 12th for my homeroom and on Tuesday, November 13th for Mr. Mathews.

Science
From the desk of Mr. Mathews...
Parents, please have your child study for his/her science test on Wednesday November 7, 2018. They have a science review sheet, notes in their science journal, and can use pages 175-202 in their science books to study and/or find the answers to their study guide. Thank you.

Please don't forget to have your child turn in their permission slip and money for the Cobb Youth Museum field trip.
