Reminder... the students will need to know the identified bones for Friday's Skeleton ID/Spelling Test.  Your child should leave the bones sheet in his/her Take-home folder and bring it back and forth to class.  There is a blank side on the back for you to copy for your child for additional practice.

Also, a study sheet will be sent home on Friday for Monday, Nov. 23rd's World River Test.  There will also be sheets in their Social Studies folder to review.

On November 30th I will be sending home a Conference Sheet in your child's Monday Folder.  These are my available time blocks.  I will TRY MY BEST to honor your request, but please know if I get many requests for the same day/time slot I will have to assign you a conference time OR we may have a phone conference (which I prefer not to do). 
Wed. Dec. 9th - 1-4pm
Thurs. Dec. 10th - 1-7pm
Fri. Dec. 11th - 1-4pm

You can send a date/time request to me directly from Schoolnotes, write it in your child's Agenda, or send me an e-mail at afreeth@ncs.k12.de.us.

NEWS YOU CAN USE

*** READING LOGS DUE MONDAY!  Thanks!

**Fluency Homework next week will be an article on the Yellow River.  There are no questions attached.  After several reading times turn over the paper and have your child tell you as many important ideas from the article that he/she can remember.  ONLY hand in the 1/2 sheet with reading times.

READING

We will continue completing our "box" sheets on Main idea and determining importance in Reading Workshop. We will also be doing a LOT of nonfiction reading on Rivers.  We will be trying out a technique called "Reciprocal Questioning".  This strategy is effective because students read more purposefully when they read to create questions and to prepare to answer questions about a non-fiction topic. 

SPELLING

Unit 12 words this week.  Core Words are: mother,light, country, father, let.  We will also be working on how to show possession/use possessives in our writing.

MATH

We will continue working with elapsed time.  Last week we kept track of our daily activities and recorded the elapsed time or time passed.  We will also move on to measuring temperature and reading a thermometer.  If we have time we will begin working on linear measurement using yards, feet, inches, meters and centimeters.

WRITING

We will incorporating our writing into our study of the Rivers this week. 

SOCIAL STUDIES

I want to finish World Rivers next week.  Students will be filling out flip charts with important facts about each important world river.  A study guide will be sent home on FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20th.  Our Rivers Test will be MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23rd. 

SCIENCE

We will continue with the skeletal system and learning about broken bones and joints next week.

As always, please continue to communicate with me in your child's agenda, through a note, or e-mail.  If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact me.

Have a great week!  Sincerely,  Allison Freeth
