October 22nd to October 26th


Finally a full week!  Time to get things done!

 This week is FEED THE BUG week at MMH!  If you can, please send non-perishable food items to school so we can fill the bug and support the food bank!

 Our book fair is on this week!  If students wish to purchase items from the fair, please send money in an envelope or baggie, which is labeled with the name of the student.  Our class is booked in for a visit on Thursday afternoon.  Yay!

More news:
*October 24th- Hot Lunch (the pizza is coming to those who ordered but please remember to pack other lunch items!)
*Halloween is coming!  Do you have a costume ready for the parade?

Language Arts
Simile poems should be typed up and ready for display by the end of the week!  Time to learn a bit more about writing skills in our journals this week.  As well, how did Cressida Cowell describe Skullions?  We will be looking for details in our novel this week!  It is what good readers do!

Math
The results of the first test are in and WOW!  Look for the first unit package to arrive home early this week!  We continue to explore BIG numbers and will be wrapping up our study of place value and the different ways to write BIG numbers by the end of the week.  Rounding and estimation are our next port of call!

Science
From the Latin cloud names, we move on to the Water Cycle, Air Masses and Fronts!

Did you have a chance to check out our projects in progress?  Looking good!
