Dec. 1-4

This week:

Math: Students have a math test on addition and subtraction (word and number problems) on Tuesday December 1st. We will then begin our unit on multiplication.

French: Students will have a pre-test on the present tense verbs on Tuesday, but I am asking that they don't review for this because I want to see what they already know. Then, they will get the study sheet and write the test on the same verbs on Friday December 4th.

English: The "Wanted Poster" project is due on Tuesday December 1st. Most students have already finished this project. This week students will be working on writing Christmas stories.

Science: We have just finished our unit on Waste & our World and will have one final "MSD" or wasteless lunch on Wednesday.

**Please note that in lieu of starting our next Social Studies unit, students will be preparing for the Christmas concert.

Thanks!!

Nov. 16- 20

This week:

Math: We are continuing with addition and subtraction, with a focus on word problems (i.e. what words indicate that we should use addition vs. subtraction).

Science: Student's will have one final period in the computer lab to finish their decomposer projects. It will then be due on Wednesday, November 18th. In addition, students will be continuing their study of mold, biodegradable and non-biodegradable items, garbage in landfills, dangerous symbols and the R's of the environment. Don't forget that Wednesday is our wasteless lunch day!

French: Now that we have finished our verbs in ER, we will be moving on to learn about verbs in IR. Students will also be reading in small groups throughout the week and there will be an evaluation on the IR verbs on Friday. The study sheet will go out on Monday.
**Students should be finished their "projet d'écriture" for Monday, November 16th, but if they are stressed out or have any questions, please have them come talk to me on Monday and they can finish for another day.

English: We will be finishing up our presentations on the saints and start a "Wanted" poster project that supports their individual reading (silent reading).

Scholastic Order- Due November 17th

Hi Parents,

Just to let you know that I will be sending home the final Scholastic order form before Christmas. It is due next Tuesday, November 17th. If you would like to order something for your child for Christmas and would not like them to know, please leave your order form in an envelope at the office with my name on it and when the order arrives, I will contact you so that you may pick it up without your child knowing.

Thank you and have a great day!

Mme Allyson
