I hope everyone had a lovely weekend, and I hope you are ready for another great week!

Language: In Language, we are continuing to read “Pax” and everyone (including me) is loving it! We are practicing writing in paragraphs using complete sentences and proper capitalization and grammar. We are also learning more about character traits, mood, tone, and setting.

Math: In Math, we will be reviewing estimating and regrouping. We will be beginning to learn adding and subtracting decimals, and students are encouraged to practice and be reassessed for place value. I will continue to support students with level ones in the classroom, but students also need to ensure they are practicing outside of school for the reassessments.

Science:

• Grade 4: Continuing to learn about rocks and minerals, and this week, students will be testing minerals.
• Grade 5: Researching sources of Energy, reviewing the different forms of energy and presenting their research to the class.

The Arts: We will begin exploring Dance by talking about the elements of dance, what dance means to them, and investigating the different types of dance.

NOTE: I wanted to share this document of important information and dates with you as most of the information is important to you and there are important dates. For example, Parent/Teacher interviews will be Thursday, November 10th.
