Happy Holidays!!! I hope you all enjoyed the break and had a lovely Thanksgiving!
Husky Helping House
If you were able to shop for our Husky Helping House kiddo, please feel free to go ahead and send in his gifts. We will also be in need of wrapping paper, tissue paper, and boxes if you have any you can spare in the coming weeks. Please be sure to send in all gifts no later than December 10th. If you signed up to donate money, please send that in by December 2nd, so I will be able to go shopping for the remaining items for our kiddo. Thanks so much for your support! This is one of the kids' favorite Harmony traditions!
Lunch Bunch
Starting this week Mrs. Hammons will begin hosting Lunch Bunch with all the girls in our class. This means that for the next few weeks, Mrs. Hammons will bring the girls up to eat lunch in her office and learn about life in the girl world and how to handle girl bullying. Please chat with your daughter about what she is learning at Lunch Bunch because these lessons can be very helpful especially with the coming transition to middle school.
Upcoming Tests
Thursday~Test over colonial regions (chapter 7 of History Alive)
Friday~Test over division
*Please help your child to prepare for these tests. Study materials will come home for math and the tutorial will be available for social studies at www.tutorial.historyalive.com.
Here's what we'll be learning this week!
Math: We will learn the different ways to represent remainders in division and how remainders are used or ignored in the real world.
Social Studies: We will review what we've learned about colonial regions and the kids will make a billboard advertising their assigned colonial region to demonstrate their understanding.
Word Study: As we wrap up division, we will segue into measurement, so this week our focus will be learning the meaning of measurement terms. I found a great website with flash cards and review games to help the kids with the metric system. Please check it out. http://quizlet.com/6006969/metric-system-prefixes-and-root-words-flash-cards/
Writing: The kids have been researching for a feature article about a famous creative/inventive thinker and this week we will begin drafting those articles.
Reading: This week, we will continue learning about Renaissance thinkers through reading as we compare and contrast depictions and story elements in two different texts about da Vinci and Galileo.
Have a great week, and if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me! :o)
