NEWS

 

THIS WEEK WE WILL READ ABOUT THE CHANGES THAT CAN BE SEEN IN NATURE.  WE WILL READ ABOUT THE LIFE CYCLE OF A CATERPILLAR IN "I'M A CATERPILLAR."

 

WE WILL BE READING AND SPELLING WORDS WITH ER, IR, UR.  WE WILL ALSO STUDY CONTRACTIONS USING HAVE ('VE).  WE WILL BE WRITING USING THE VERBS: AM, IS, ARE, WAS, WERE.

 

IN MATH STUDENTS WILL REVIEW THE MEASURING SKILLS, AND, THEN BE TESTED ON TUESDAY.  ON WEDNESDAY WE BEGIN TOPIC 13-TELLING TIME (THIS IS A SHORT TOPIC).

 

THE NEXT TWO WEEKS THE PSSA TESTS WILL BE GIVEN TO 3,4,5,6TH GRADES.  PLEASE REMIND YOUR CHILD TO BE AS QUIET AS POSSIBLE IN SCHOOL.  OUR SCHEDULE WILL ALSO BE AFFECTED ON TUESDAYS, WEDNESDAYS, AND, THURSDAYS THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.  RECESS WILL BE 9:30-10:00 WITH A 2ND SHORT RECESS IN THE AFTERNOON FROM 2:15 TO 2:35.  THERE WILL BE NO SPECIAL CLASSES THOSE DAYS.

 

  SINCE WE WILL HAVE MORE TIME IN THE CLASSROOM, I AM KEEPING HOMEWORK TO SIMPLY READING THE STORY AND STUDYING THE SPELLING LIST.  YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE SPELLING LIST NOW INCLUDES 3 BONUS WORDS.  ONE OF OUR STUDENTS SUGGESTED THESE WORDS.  YOUR CHILD CAN EARN BONUS POINTS IF THEY GET EVEN ONE OF THE WORDS CORRECT AND S/HE WILL NOT BE PENALIZED IF THEY GET THE WORDS INCORRECT.  IT IS SIMPLY A CHALLENGE!
