November 4 - 8

LA - get the persuasive writing in as soon as possible!  Several students have not completed theirs.  Continue reading every night, and recording it in your reading log.  We're now on word work #8.

Health - we've spent some time talking about personal safety, how to avoid dangerous sitations with strangers or even people we may know.  Each student has been asked to create a family password that can be used in emergencies when you might need to send someone else to pick up your child.

Math - review sheets due in.  We'll have our unit assessment on Friday.

Our class will be reading the poem In Flanders Fields at our remembrance day assembly Thursday.  Each student has a copy of the poem to practice.  We're working on not stopping in the middle of lines, but remembering to pause at commas and periods.  We've reorganized the line breaks in a way that makes it easier to read properly.  Think about what the words are saying!

A reminder that there will be no school on Monday, November 11th, because of the holiday.  There is also no class for students on Friday, November 15th, as we will be holding student-led conferences in the morning, and PD in the afternoon.
On that note, forms for student-led have gone home.  Please pick your top 3 available times when your student can come in with you and show you all the great stuff we're doing!  I'll send home a confirmation the end of this week.
