12/16-12/20

ONE MORE WEEK!!!
I am looking forward to a festive last week of school before the holidays!
This week we will be continuing a lot of concepts we started last week.
Reading- we will be reading from our StoryWorks magazines and focusing on narrative fiction.
*Please make sure your child is reading over the break, our AR goals are due in about a month!*
Writing-Mrs. Hartwig and I will continue our instruction on Personal Narrative writing.  Your child will begin writing the body of their personal narratives.  Most of your children have chosen very entertaining topics to write about!
Math-we will be continuing with multiplying decimals.  I will give the students a small quiz over the process of multiplying decimals before the break to ensure understanding.  I'll be sure to return these before Friday.

On Friday, my Reading class will be having a holiday breakfast celebration.  I handed out forms to go home this past Friday.  If you and your child are interested in participating and bringing something to share, please fill out the form and return it to school with your child.
We will complete our Spelling and Vocabulary quizzes as usual and enjoy the movie, Polar Express.
During 7th hour, the students will be attending an assembly to watch some staff members play the 8th grade boys basketball team in a game.
*If your child has ANY zeros in the grade-book on Friday, he/she will not be participating in the assembly and will instead work on this missing homework during this time.*

Have a wonderful and safe holiday season!  Enjoy this time with your friends and family.
Mr. Wood and I will be opening the envelope to tell us is we are having a boy or a girl on Christmas morning!  I look forward to sharing!
