Very Late Update

WoW!  It's already Wednesday and I failed to send out an update.  Please forgive me.  We are frantically trying to wrap everything up in time for the holidays and end of second quarter.
Spelling:  Everyone has completed their tests.  New words will be given when we return in January.
Social Studies:  We will taking a test over Government tomorrow.  Students are doing a fantastic job of studying throughout the week. 
Science:  We are creating a powerpoint presentation about planets in our solar system.  I hope that every student will complete their presentation by Friday, so they can present when we return from break.  I will be sure to video your solar system scholar, so you can view their presentation as well.
Writing;  We are poets!!  They are learning how to write cinquain poems, diamante poems, acrostics, and sensory poems. 
Reading: We are reading and discussing several poems, paying close attention to the structure of poetry and the rhyming words.
Math:  We are learning about the properties of multiplication.  Please study these with your child.  This will help them understand the concept of multiplication and relationship with numbers when multiplying.  I've attached a document you can use with your child, to help study all the properties.  Please remember to continue studying multiplication facts with your child over the break!
 
Dates to Remember:
Friday, December 16th:  Holiday Party 1:45-2:45, End of 2nd Quarter
Tuesday, January 3rd: Return to School!
