Week at a Glance

This week is Red Ribbon Week, in honor of Enrique Camarena and for students to pledge to stay off drugs. Please see the previous post for dress-up days and events.

The heat will continue this week so please send your child to school with appropriate attire and a water bottle (with water only). Also, please remind your child that the following items are NOT allowed at school: sports equipment from home and toys (including cards).

Here is what is happening this week:

Wednesday: Red Ribbon photo (wear red)

Thursday: DEA Assembly on blacktop

Friday: Character Parade (please see the school website for guidelines); students must bring change of clothes to change immediately following the parade.

This is what we are learning:

Language Arts: We will finish reading and discussing about John Muir and the Unit 3 Test will be given on Wednesday and Thursday.

Writing: Students will draft, revise, edit, and publish their biography reports this week. They should be completed by Friday at the latest.

Read Aloud: We began our next novel, Dead End in Norvelt and the students are enjoying it very much. It is written by Jack Gantos and ties in true events from his childhood with some fictional elements to make for a humorous historical fiction read.

Math: Division (long-division and decimals)

Science: Last week of rotation with Mrs. Benson

PE: We will stay inside for PE this week due to the heat.
