Aug. 28, 2015

Happy (Rainy) Friday everybody! Alright, I've got plenty of things to say today...........

Today's events went like this:
1) Language Arts - spelling test (please return the spelling test booklet), and discussion about how to publish writing, and also how to do a writer's conference
2) Science - we reviewed the quiz, the students will take the quiz home over the weekend, but please bring them back as I need to put them in the portfolio. We briefly began the next unit on engineers and looked at some cool structures.
3) Math - worked with bar graphs (students are great at reading them), and reviewed rounding. The Math quiz is on Monday. Please study. We also had an earthquake drill, and the students all did well.
4) Reading - worked with making sentences for the vocabulary words.

NEXT WEEK TESTS/QUIZZES:
MONDAY: Math Chapter 2
WEDNESDAY: Social Studies Chapter 1
FRIDAY: Spelling Test new words: convinced, guilty, cooperate, judge, government, design, engineer, problem, solution, evaluate 
 
HOMEWORK:
  • Reading: Write a sentence, and draw a small picture using the 4 vocabulary words
  • Social Studies: Text book review questions: p. 33 #1-12, 16
IMPORTANT NOTICES:
  1.  Mosquito spraying was canceled today because of the rain, and is rescheduled for next Friday.
  2. We will have Show and Tell on Tuesday. The purpose is to have students speak in front of the class, and use descriptive words about their item. Their item can be anything they want, but no pets please. It can be: a souvenir, special gift, something they made, something cool that people would like to see.
  3. We will begin a Dance class next week to prepare for our Christmas concert. I will be switching around a few classes to accommodate this. On Fridays: Dance will be in period 4, PE will now be in period 6. On Thursday, our ECA class will be Reading and Phonics (that was bumped from Friday). If you have any questions, please let me know. 
That should be all. It was a great week, and I can't believe it will already be September next week.

Have a great weekend. I hope the rain doesn't dampen your plans too much.

Mr. Yaremchuk
