November 2- November 6, 2009

English- Halloween stories turned out well. The 5th graders had fun reading their stories to Mrs. Staid's 2nd grade class. This week we will work on present, past and future tense verbs (sections 5-7 in text). The quiz is scheduled for Tuesday, November 10. All students have a brand new textbook. This must be covered by Monday and remain covered for the year. The old book may be kept at home to use as future reference in middle school. If you/your child do not wish to keep the text, please return it to me this week.
Vocabulary Unit 6 test is schedule for Friday, November 6, 2009.

Science-This week we will begin notes and discussion on Plant and Animal Kingdoms. We will, once again, make notecards in class. If you don't have any at home, please purchase a pack to have handy. The test for this last section is tentatively scheduled for Friday, November 13, 2009.

On Friday the students had a great time using the Scope on a Rope that was borrowed from LSU. Students were able to take an up close look at objects such as their skin, clothes, shoes, socks, hair, pencil bags, pencil tips, and yes....we even looked inside of ears and noses.
