October 18-22, 2010

English-
This week we will continue working on Halloween picture books. We will also begin work on present, past, and future tesnse verbs. Test date will be announced soon. A new spiral will be given on Monday and is due by Friday.

Science-
Monday we will start our next packet on Cells. Homework each night is to study what is in the packet so far. The first quiz will cover the 23 vocabulary words. It will likely be given on Friday the 22nd or Tuesday the 26th. I will post as soon as it is decided.
I will no longer require that notecards be completed in class. Students have learned how to use the packet to create the cards. If this is a good way for your child to study, the cards should be done at home. It is a good idea to create the notecards each night for the information written that day in class.
