Tuesday, October 15

 I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!  There are a pair of updates and reminders this week:

  • please don't forget to go to the parent portal and fill out / sign the four different forms that are there.  One is an off-site permission form that will be important for our upcoming bus trips.
  • we have Swim to Survive coming up!  Hopefully you saw the information come home last week.  We have 3 dates coming up (October 29, November 5 and 12 ...all Tuesdays).  Make sure they come those days with a bathing suit and towel!
In Language this week, we will be continuing with some sentence writing tasks, and I will be introducing our final descriptive language task where we will be describing a "monster" that they created.  We will be looking at proper sentence form and punctuation.

In Math, we will be moving on to 3D solids this week. We will be looking at the differences between pyramids and prisms, and counting all their edges, vertices and faces.

In Science, we will be continuing with our Soils unit.  Specifically, we will be looking a the components of soil (sand, soil and silt) and how it can help/hurt plant growth.

In Art, we will be looking at how to draw a picture using one-point perspective.
