Week of November 21, 2011

Hello Everyone!  I hope you had a peaceful week-end.
I have lots of interesting learning planned for this week.
In Language Arts, we are going to start a Book Club Unit on fantasy.  It is entitled "Hero of Another World".  We will be learning about the fantasy genre as well.
In math, we will be studying place value in the tenths position and beyond.  We will also be concentrating on multiplying and dividing with decimals.  So make sure to review your basic facts!  I have started a "Math Club" at lunch on Day 5.  This time is available for students to drop in if they have any concerns or areas which they would like some extra support or practice.  All are welcome!
We finished our science labs on the mealworms and they were due on Friday.  We will be starting a microscope study this week.  We will be learning the parts of a microscope, rules for handling this device, as well as how to write a lab.
In French, we will finish our menus and then focus on the roles of waitress/waitress and the client in a restaurant.
