Paramount Trip Tomorrow

We will be going to the Paramount Theater to listen to the symphony on Tuesday, November 12. We will leave at 9:10 and return around 11:00. We will be traveling by bus and we will eat lunch at school.

In reading the kids will be reading about different kinds of snakes next week.
 They will take the Topic 5 math test  While we are waiting for our next science kit to arrive the children will be reading  articles and watch news clips regarding the topic: Should students wear uniforms to school? with Mrs. S. during their science time.  Students will gather information regarding this topic and write their opinion using facts to support their side of the debate. This is a similar format to our new district reading test that was/will be shared with you at conferences.
We will continue to work on multiplying larger numbers in math. In writing we are working on drawing conclusions.  Our S.S. states and region unit is off and running. The kids have a lot to share about the regions and different states.
As I write this there is a lot of snow flying around outside. PLEASE make sure that your child has warm clothes on for recess!!  We still go out as long as the temperature is ok.
