A Look Ahead 1-26



We will not have a spelling test this week due to all the activities for Catholic School’s Week.
A packet was sent home with the week’s activities and dress down days.
Students are in a completion to bring the most soup cans. I have promised the kids a movie and popcorn afternoon if they win. They will also get a dress down day the week after Catholic School’s Week as part of the reward!  You all did such an amazing job feeding the hungry just before Thanksgiving.  I really hope we can fill up the food bank’s shelves.  
Reading:  You will begin new literature groups.  Your group will decide what will be read, and what homework you will do. At times I will choose. Be ready to discuss what you have read.  You will be expected to have character, plot, setting, theme, or conflict questions for your group each day.  The purpose is to read for meaning, to really think about what you are reading, and to get others to think about what you have discovered as a reader.  It is also fun.
Math: We will cover ch. 8 lessons 7-12. Depending on how Catholic School’s Week goes, we may have a test on Friday. We will just have to play it by ear.
Science: We will begin learning about heredity, and adaptations. We will do a mini-report on an animal of your choice in class.
S.S We will continue to learn about the causes of the war, and will start the battles as well. Be sure to check my blog for sites related to what we are learning.
