Spelling: This week we will have a review spelling test covering all of the words from Unit 2. The format of the test is multiple choice, and the students will need to identify misspelled words. THERE IS NO SPELLING HOMEWORK THIS WEEK, BUT THERE IS WRITING WORDS HOMEWORK!! (See below.)
Reading: This week we are focusing on reviewing the comprehension skills and strategies and vocabulary from Unit 2. After reviewing, we will be taking the Unit 2 assessment.
Writing: We are recently finished our personal narratives! The students worked very hard and the growth they have shown since the beginning of the year is tremendous. The November writing words test will be Friday. This covers all of the words from both October and November. THERE IS A WRITING WORDS WORKSHEET DUE THURSDAY IN PLACE OF THE WEEKLY SPELLING HOMEWORK.
Grammar: Our focus is reviewing common and proper nouns, singular and plural nouns, possessive nouns, and combining sentences with either the same subject or predicate. The unit grammar test will be on Wednesday.
Math: We conclude our unit on multiplying and dividing this week. The students will be bringing home a completed review guide Wednesday. The unit test will be Friday.
Social Studies: We continue studying the Midwest region of our country. Each student will be assigned a Midwest state to research and complete a project. More information about this will be sent home after Thanksgiving break.
Weekly Reminders
* The November Student Challenge is due on Friday. We already have several sets of creative quarters already submitted!

* I look forward to seeing you at our Parent-Teacher Conferences next week!
* The students filled our Character Counts chart with 200 smiley faces (earned each week by students who keep all 6 pillars), which means it's time for a class reward! They voted on a class reward and decided to have a movie party, which will take place this Thursday. We will be watching the movie in the afternoon. Students are allowed to dress in pjs or comfy clothes and bring a small pillow or stuffed animal to have during the movie. If your child has a G-rated movie that he or she would like to bring in for the class to watch that would be great. We will vote on which one to watch on Thursday.
Study Tip
We are almost finished reviewing all of the lower case cursive letters. Although students are not yet required to write daily assignments in cursive, it is a good idea to practice writing cursive regularly. The next time you need something jotted down, ask your child to write it down for you in cursive. Any time is a good time to squeeze in a little extra practice!
