October 4-8, 2010

First, I hope you all realized that my weekly events update was for this week. I got a little ahead of myself and posted it Friday afternoon. I hope there was no confusion!

English-
****All 5th grade students have an online writing assignment that MUST be completed before they go to bed on Tuesday. This assignment requires use of the internet. If this is an issue at your home for any reason, please let me know ASAP so that we can make arrangements at school for them to complete the assignment.****

Quiz on Verbs sections 1-2 (action verbs and direct objects)) is Tuesday. Quiz on Verbs sections 3-4 (helping and linking verbs) is on Friday. Spiral #5 will be given on Monday and due on Friday. Spiral #4 was not so great for many students. Please check over your child's spiral before they turn it in.

Science-
Students made Plant Kingdom notecards last week. This week we will make our Plant tree map, take notes on the Animal Kingdom, create Animal Kingdom notecards, and begin work on an Animal Kingdom project. The quiz on Plant and Animal Kingdoms is October 12. Homework each night is to study for the quiz.
