Husky Helping House Reminder:
Please send in any purchased items for Husky Helping House no later than this Friday, December 9th. Once again, I'd like to thank you all for your generosity! Our child is going to have a wonderful Christmas! If you happen to have any clothing boxes or unwanted wrapping paper at home, please send those in as well. We are going to have a wrapping party with Ms. Poteet's kindergarten class next week.
Girls' Night Out:
This Friday is Girls' Night Out from 2:30-4:00pm. If your daughter signed up to attend, we will be staying after Friday to paint nails, eat pizza, and make friendship bracelets! It's going to be a lot of fun! If you have not signed up, but would like to the cost is $25, as this was my Harmony Harvest auction item.
Upcoming Tests:
Facts Quiz on Friday
Word Study Quiz over Possessive Nouns on Friday
Here's what we're learning this week!
Social Studies: The kids will be given the opportunity this week to experience the daily life of a colonist in colonial Williamsburg by visiting stations that are set up around the room which require them to do activities colonial people would have actually participated in during the 1700's.
Math: We are still plowing through fractions. I am working hard to review each concept over and over as we go because this has been somewhat intimidating for the kiddos. This week we will be delving into how to convert fractions to decimals and percents, which will set the stage for a fun project next week!
Word Study: Our focus this week is on possessive nouns.
Writing: Upon the completion of our recent open genre study, I have noticed that the kids need a lot of practice on paragraphing. Therefore, we are going to do another genre study where we really focus on using paragraphs effectively.
Reading: Literature cirlces are in their final stages and by the end of the week, each student will be assigned a literature circle project to complete to demonstrate their understanding of the novel they read.
