Update 12/4

Hello Everybody!

A couple of updates...

Math:  We took our Unit 3 (Geometry) Test last week, and so your students will be bringing home their test with their "Profile of Progress" stapled to the front. Remember these scores are based on our 4,3,2,1 scale. Your students should be able to explain this to you, but if you have questions, let me know. Your students will be showing your their test, making corrections as needed and having you sign the front page to be returned to me by Wednesday. We will be starting Unit 4 on Monday, which centers around Division.

Literacy: We have been working on asking questions about our reading to help us understand and interpret meaning. Ask your students to tell you about a character named "Iqbal" (pronounced Ick-ball) that we read last week.

Writing: Last week, we studied the six traits of writing: Ideas, Organization, Voice, Word Choice, Fluency and Conventions.  I look forward to continued improvement in your students' writing as we start to focus on descriptive writing assignments.


Health: We are finishing up our Brainstorms Unit on the Brain and Central Nervous System. Your students should be studying their flashcards for the Quiz on Monday.

***It's December and snow is on the ground!*** Remember that your students need proper winter attire to have fun at recess time.
