Hello Parents andhappy Thursday (Friday!),

Today we began our day with a math test. I sent out an email regarding a new math test being completed by the students on Tuesday. Please see the email for more information. I am more than confident that all of the students will be able to complete the new version of the test, however I have sent along practice questions should you see it necessary.

In language we worked on LHBW we read chapter 3 of the novel, this chapter was about making bullets and cleaning Pa’s gun. The students used their knowledge about safety to recognize the dangers of guns and understand why Pa had the girls learn how to take care of the gun safely. The students are really enjoying the novel thus far!

In UOI the students began to organize their safety information. Thank you so much for having the students prepared with plenty of information for their brochures! They will continue to organize information in the next couple of UOI periods. Students are very excited about what they are learning and being really good inquirers!

At the end of the day we had time to complete a short thanksgiving activity, we took fall leaves that were cut out of construction paper and wrote one thing that we were thankful for. We finished the day by playing “wax museum” after a day filled with tests I thought the students needed some fun!

Important Information:

-Sign and return Spelling test

-Read 25 minutes and log.

Math Test:

We will be having another math test on Tuesday, please see parent emails for more information.

Summative Information

There is a slight change the to the summative format and a need for clarification, the students will be required to do 4 types of safety: water safety, fire safety, bike safety, and community safety (school safety). They can then add in a type of safety that they are interested in (i.e., sport safety, car safety). Each type of safety will represent a page on their safety brochure. 

Uniform Change

As it is Thanksgiving weekend, come Tuesday the students will be required to wear their winter uniforms. This means that they will be wearing their long-sleeved polo along with their pants or dresses.

The Parent Guild is hosting a movie night and dance on Friday, October 21. The movie (The Wild Life – PG) will run from 6:30-8:30 and the dance from 8:30-9:30.
