Thursday:  Double gym with Mrs.Quinlan first thing in the morning (for the next three weeks).  Please be sure your child is dressed to run (with good running shoes and clothes to move in as well as a short sleeve t-shirt worn under any sweaters  - change rooms are still not open)

Friday (half day): Spelling #6 and assignment due

Coming soon:  Math Number and Patterns Quiz - Next week (Tuesday) We will be doing a quiz in math that combines the main items from our first number unit, as well as the pattern unit.  Tomorrow I will be sending a hard copy of the practice quiz home to help with studying.  

The quiz next week will look exactly the same but have different numbers.  Please help your child to practice, and make new questions to try for any items they find challenging.   Links here: Practice Quiz   Practice Quiz Answers (in case you need them :)

Today in Science we did a lab designed to test our experimenting skills.  Students were provided with an unknown substance (cornstarch and water mixture) which they needed to test and at the end of the testing determine why they believed it to be either a liquid or a solid.  This goo is so fun to play with and it's also part of the testing.  Here are some pictures to give you a peek into our class.  (As always - if they don't play for you on the forwarded message, please head to the blog to see it live.  Or take a closer look by following the link to Lab: Solid or Liquid)

 Here are the first of the finished Health Posters we have been making.  These great reminders are bright and 100% kid created!  (if the video won't play from the forwarded email, please head to our Smart Cookie Blog site to see it live :)

 Week of Nov.16

Monday: Spelling #5 list and homework comes home.  

This week we will be talking in class about upcoming novel reviews.  (Due in December - date to be determined still) We will be focused on these the next few weeks instead of weekly reading records.  I will have sticky notes for students to use while reading to keep track of character info and main events to help them to complete the assignment later.  

Students will be completing the assignment during class, but help at home to choose, read and discuss a novel will be helpful.  Novels should be chapter books at an appropriate reading level for your child  (not so tough they can't understand, but not so easy there is no challenge).  Please use the site  AR book finder to help you to understand the reading level.  BL stands for Book level and tells the general grade and months of the vocabulary in the book.  Please let me know if you have any questions about helping your child to choose a book.  

Tuesday: 

Wednesday:

Thursday:   Writing algebra expressions for marks.  We've been working on questions like this since the beginning of last week Ex: John is 5 cm taller than Kim.  Written as an algebra expression we would do K+5=J   (Kim's height+5cm = John's height)

Friday: (Half day)  Spelling and assignment are due
