November 5th to 9th


Ready or not…November is here!  Just seems like yesterday when I was turning the calendar to October!

OF SPECIAL NOTE
 • Thank you for supporting our FEED the BUG campaign.  We raised a load of food for the food bank—how fantastic!

 Our annual Remembrance Day assembly will be this Thursday, November 8th.  It will take place in the gymnasium at 10:30. 

More news:
*There will be no school on Friday, November 9th as well as no school on Monday, November 12th for fall break.  Hope the weather holds up!

Language Arts
We are in the midst of completing items off of our Pirate Menu.  This week we begin pirate paragraph writing!  Very exciting!  Wednesday Work Day begins this week!  Students must select their first choice item and be prepared to work during class time on Wednesday!

Math
We have conquered three different ways to estimate large numbers and are becoming rounding professionals!  The students have a rhyme to help them!  Next up, adding and subtracting large numbers!  Please check in with your student this week to see how adding and subtracting is going.  Sometimes borrowing and re-grouping can pose a few problems!

Science
Quiz on Monday followed by information on thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes!  Oh my!

Art
Tornadoes are up and they look smashing!
