Week of October 23, 2011

Hi...welcome back!  I hope everyone had a great long weekend.  Now it is time to get back to work!
In math this week, we are continuing to study factors and will be spending some time on factor trees.  We will be having a test on Friday on multiples, factors, prime, and composite numbers.  Make sure to continue to work on basic facts of addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
In Language Arts, we will finish our self monitoring strategy unit by reading a brochure and working on persuasive writing.
In Science we are continuing to work on the Diversity Unit.  We will be completing our graphic organizer of Arthropods in the computer lab and presenting these to class.
We will be choosing our words for Word Study on Monday and will be back on track for a quiz on Friday.
Remember to have permission slip and $2 in for our field trip on Tuesday.  We are going to the soccer complex in Stratford where students will get a chance to try new and favorite sports.  We will be stopping for lunch at Wendy's, so students need to bring a bag lunch or money.  All participants need to have their indoor sneakers in order to participate.
Money is due on Monday for the first band fundraiser, the Shopping Extravaganza which will be held on Saturday, October 29.
Early Morning Band Practice on Tuesday as well.
Have a great week everyone, work hard and learn lots!
