November 19

Good morning! We have a busy couple of weeks coming up! Monday, November 25, we will be taking our Unit 2 Social Studies Test and our Unit 2 Language Arts Skills Test. On Wednesday, November 27, we will take our Unit 2 Word Wall Test and our Unit 4 Math Test.

Tuesday, November 26, is our class trip! Please arrive to school on time as we will be leaving promptly at 8:45.

In Language Arts this week we will be working on words that end in -ce, -ge, and -se. We will also be learning how to use plural possessives where you use s'. In Math we will continue to focus on addition strategies, and in Social Studies we will continue to learn about natural resources and how we can protect Earth. We began our poetry unit yesterday. The students are very excited!

Have a great couple of weeks, and enjoy your holiday!
