9/26-9/29

Reading:  This week we reviewed all the vocabulary we have covered so far this year.

 The 4th graders are working with their time management and using their time wisely.  

The 3rd graders had a spelling test this week.  I was quite pleased with how well they did!  They will receive new spelling words on Monday. 

3rd and 4th graders will have a Latin/Greek test on Thursday 10/6.

Writing: We finished up our opinion writing paper on the best animal. 

Grammar:  We learned about adverbs this week.  We then took an assessment on all the parts of speech.  Some of the students are still struggling with the different parts of speech, so we will be reviewing next week.

Projects: We are in the process of gathering all the supplies for our catapults so this week we learned about magnets.  The students had fun exploring with their magnets. 

We are going to start building on Tuesday 10/4 from about 2:30 to 3:30 each day.  If you are able to come in and help please let me know.  Mrs. WindRiver sent out an email about parent helpers. 

Misc: Ask your student about reading with flashlights with Mrs. WindRiver's class.  They had so much fun.  This is something we plan to do weekly. 

Fall Break is the week of October 17!
