I can't believe there is only 1 week left before Christmas vacation! The kids can hardly contain their excitement!
Reading: This week in reading I did assessments and met with bookclubs. They aslo had a Latin/Greek test.
We talked a lot this week about the quality of work that is being done. This class is halfway to 4th grade! We are going to work on producing higher quality work as they continue the rest of the year.
We will be having a spelling test on Thursday the 17th. The words this time are high frequency words. Please make sure your child is studying their words.
Writing: The students completed a writing assessment about a magical snowman. Next week they will be working on a series of holiday themed writing.
Grammar: We reviewed and then took assessments for the end of the quarter testing.
Projects: The students continued working on researching for their severe weather projects. As the groups finish up they are starting to work on their slide shows. On Thursday (the 17)we will be going down to the high school and each group will work with a high schooler perfecting their slide shows. The high schoolers will be able to help teach the kids the ends of making a presentation. I love that we are able to work with the high school!
Secret Santa: Don't forget that Secret Santa gifts need to be to school by Wednesday. Write who the gift is to on the bottom. If for any reason you are unable to get a gift please let me know.
Our class party will be Thursday afternoon.We will start off by doing our gift exchange. We will then watch a movie and have some snacks. The students will be able to chose whether they want to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas or Elf,in either our room or Mrs. Windriver's room. They can bring a pillow and blanket if they want so they can be comfy while they watch the movie! It is going to be such a fun week!!
