Tomorrow Night -- Sukkot!

More holidays! only two more weeks to go, and then life will be semi normal.

4th grade math test will be Wednesday, 9/22. Heads Up -- there will be a social studies test coming up as well as a science test. Also, Social Studies notebooks and Science notebooks will be collected and graded. We're closing out the second unit in Language as well. Everything always seems to dovetail at about the same time.

Next week, on Tuesday, I would like the kids to come over to my house for a very informal luncheon in our sukkah. I'll try to have the permission slip sent home tomorrow, and I will definitely need drivers. Thanks!

Shana Tova!

I hope everyone has had a great holiday weekend. Personally, I'm shulled out, but then, Friday is another day.

I'm looking over my lesson plans, and have realized the month of September is going to be really sketchy. We'll fit in what we can, and after Sukkot we'll settle down to some regular scheduling. In the mean time, this coming week I want to work toward a spelling test on Thursday with Group D covering Sort 3 and Group E on Sort 2. There will also be a social studies test on Monday, I hope, and 5th grade will finish the reteaching of Chapter 1 in math. We'll be doing some experiments in science, and Mr. Roy will definitely come to school on Wednesday.

See everyone on Monday! I'm looking forward to a perfect attendance day, so I can enjoy all of you!

Labor Day Weekend Homework

Your children have a few things to do this weekend.
First, they need to have their writing about "What bugs me" in typed format. Please send me the paper as an attachment so that we can work with these here at school.

Social Studies -- there is a chart reviewing all the tribes we have read about in this unit of Chapters 5 through 12. The children should complete this chart and the map of the Natives for Tuesday.

All the children need to practice their math facts. They should have taken their calculators home, and they know of two games on the calculator they can play to learn their multiplication facts.

Have a wonderful weekend! I will see everyone Tuesday.

Labor Day Weekend is Coming!

We're almost up to the long weekend. I'm trying to get the 5th grade ready for a math test on Chapter 1 on Friday. Everyone will have a spelling test on Friday, so expect some homework in Spelling tomorrow night.

Mr. Roy has been wonderful in science. Ask your children what they learned today. They had a lot of fun.
