Science: Students will be tested over Chapter 1 on Tuesday.
Monday will be spent reviewing for the test. Chapter 2 will be introduced on
Thursday. Both Thursday and Friday will be spent taking notes and discovering
new terms that relate to chemistry.
Reading: We are taking a break from our main reading texts and are exploring
a book called Number the Stars. We will be doing a book club with this
text. We will have this week and next to read the book. During that time there
will be no spelling tests or regular worksheets regarding spelling or
vocabulary. The students will be able to choose a track to
be on for completing the book. The students will also learn some background
information about Denmark and WWII.
Writing: As a continuation
from each week, we will focus on reviewing and improving our 6+1 traits. This
week we will focus on grammar, adverbs, continuing ideas in writing, and
organization. The students will take a grammar quiz on Wednesday.
Bully: We will be doing a
teambuilding activity this week. It is important for students to be able to
work together and to build positive relationships. This type of activity helps
students grow and think about how teamwork affects schoolwork.
Social Studies: Please ask your child's social studies teacher for an update of
this subject.
As mentioned above, we will have no
spelling tests for this week and next. We sent out midterms on Friday. If you
did not receive one, then your student has all grades above a “D” in each subject. We highly encourage you to
look up your child’s grades so that you have an idea of how they are doing. If
you would like a midterm to be printed for you, then please let us know!
We had a great day at Step-a-Thon on
Friday. Our class worked very hard and several students had a couple thousand
steps. Please remember that the pledges are due on September
16. We need to
have the envelopes back at school that day.
September 30th marks the last day for students to
have 20 points towards Reading Counts.
Encourage your child to read daily, which they should be doing already, and
have them read for more points.
On Friday, we had our student council elections! We had a strong
group of students run and a close race! We were very proud of all of our
candidates!
As always, please let us know if you have any questions!!!
Mrs. Pfahler and Miss Scott
