I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving with your family and friends. It is hard to believe that we only have 3 full weeks left before winter break. Let's work together to make sure that our students stay focused and on task as our break approaches.
Language Arts: Today in Language Arts we took our spelling pre-test, discussed our new RIT vocabulary for the week, reviewed this weeks story vocabulary, listened to our story for the week, and worked on action verbs in grammar. We also found some time to listen to a chapter in our read a loud, and start our writing project for the week. We finished up the morning by going over our Word Master words by using analogies, definitions, categories, and examples.
Homework:
***Weekly Homework Packet
***Book orders are due on Thursday. This will be the last one before Christmas.( Be sure to look careful at the Tab book order since some titles contain mature content.)
***Book projects are due on January 7. Do you have your flip book?

Social Studies:
Today in content we discussed the regions of the Northwest Coast, the California-Inter mountain, and the Southwest. We discussed the tribes that lived in these areas, their housing and the artifacts that made each group unique. I advised the students that it is a good idea to review this material a little each night since we will be adding to it each day. It makes studying for the test next week a lot easier.
Homework:
***Review Interactive workbook pages 16 and 17
Homeroom Reminders:
***Letters were sent home today about the family that our classroom will be sponsoring this holiday. Please be sure to fill out the survey and send it back to school tomorrow so that I can get you specific information about sizes and interests of our three children. Thank you in advance for helping make a family feel "Special" this holiday season.(Remember it is optional, though).
Happy shopping!
Until tomorrow...
