Week of 2/1/16 - 2/5/16

We had a very successful marble party Wednesday; a great big thank you to Kyle’s parents for buying us pizza and chocolate chip cookies!  What a treat.
Congrats to Izzy and Wesley for making it to the 3rd grade spelling bee.  Wes will be moving on to the district bee on 2/11.
Our Matter Matters in-school field trip takes place on Tuesday afternoon.  It will be a scientific learning experience!

Coming up next week:
Spelling:  Students should be sorting their words every night.  Six activities need to be completed by Friday, 2/5.  The test will be on 2/5 as well.  

Reading & Language Arts:  We’re continuing our culture and traditions unit.  We’re starting The Matchbox Diary this week.

We’re starting fiction novels this week.   Students are required to complete a book report as they did with their mystery novels.  These will mostly be done in class during our daily stations. The final products are due on or before March 1.   Also, a new February log will be coming home on Monday!  
Read to Succeed sheets for Great America tickets are due on Monday!!

Social Studies:  We are on hiatus!!

Science:   We’re continuing the study of matter. The next graded review (lesson 3) will be on Thursday.  The final chapter test on matter will be on Tuesday, February 9.  A study guide will come home next week some time.
