Gazette Memo Oct 19-23

All the kids are having a blast learning about the skeletal and muscular system. We have been the computer lab twice and most students have printed pictures for their projects. There is only a week and 2 days left to get the project done. Keep working hard!
Pictures will be posted on the website with classroom activities and projects starting next week.

Fall Festival is this Friday from 6:30-8:30 pm. I will only be there from 6:30-7:30ish, but I look forward to seeing you all there.

Have a terrific week…and please make sure everyone is doing their homework each night. They are earning stickers for our Pumkinfest on Oct. 29th (Class Party)!!! If they do NOT have enough stickers, they will NOT be able to participate.

This week’s objectives:

*Math- Multi-digit addition and subtraction problem solving, elapsed time, finding the unknown in an equation, comparing and ordering numbers.
*Reading- words with the suffix –y and -ly, continue reviewing parts of a poem and distinguishing between simile and metaphors, begin looking at biographies, parts of an article (non-fiction) and instructions/directions.
*Science- there will be a test on Friday and a study guide going home Monday or Tuesday, depending on when we get it completed in class.
The human body focus questions:
-What is a skeleton?
-How many bones are in the human skeleton?
-What are the functions of bones?
*Writing- cut apart a skeleton, reassemble it while writing down the directions, focus vivid verbs
