* Our class will be finishing the Sign of the Beaver this week together with our vocabulary and spelling words all coming from the book. Also, I handed out an extra-credit assignment that will be due this coming Friday, September 30th. Each child will make a bow and arrow and bring them to share on Friday. Please make sure that they are in bags. Obviously, they can not take them out at recess.
* We will also choose new articles for our News Team Groups. Our first presentations were exceptional with really good eye contact, voice and volume. The commercials were hilarious! Their practice paid off.
* In HM Mathematics we will wrap our Chapter 3 studying Place Value, Standard Form, Expanded Form with Exponents
* In American History we are finishing up our Unit of Study about the Explorers. In the computer lab we are using the "Pages" application and each child is creating their own Explorer Brochure about one they chose last week. The study guide will be posted this Thursday, September 29th and we will take our first test next Thursday, October 6th.
* Finally, in writing our class will finish our final drafts of the "Frustrations" Essay.
That's it for now! See in the class where we use our hearts and minds well.

Parents and Students from Room 12,
Last Friday was a great day taking assessments with the Smart Responders and the Spelling/DLR test. This was followed by Electronics, Pajamas and Soul Surfer, a movie they chose. Thank you so much to the parents who brought in treats...they were delicious!
This week we will start with our field trip to the Tech Museum on Monday, which will culminate our Unit of Study of Chemistry and Extreme Weather. I appreciate the parents who volunteered their time to drive over to San Jose.
There will still be homework on Monday consisting of 20-4-1 and Math L24/odds, and we will get our Spelling/Vocab from Sign of the Beaver words on Tuesday. I will also hand out our first Book Project, which will not be due until the latter part of October.
Also, only about half of the class have taken A.R. quizzes. As a reminder, A.R. is 20% of the reading grade. If they meet their goal, that is an easy A for that 20%! The deadline to take quizzes the first trimester is Tuesday, November 1st. Read on!
In American History we are learning about the Explorers and the process of Cultures Meeting/Clashing.
Finally, please bring your news team article stapled to the cover sheet. If you have not finished the summary, you will have time either Monday, or Tuesday night.
See you in the class "where we use our hearts and minds well."

* In Reading our class will begin The Sign of the Beaver, a classic book about a boy's life without his family in the Northeast in the 1760's.
* This week, we will not have spelling workbook pages. Instead, in class, we will learn the meanings of our vocabulary words and play games to understand and use them. The vocab test will be on Friday using the Smart Responders... so study those words! The meanings will be sent home Tuesday.
* We will not have as much homework because I really want each child to study for the Science Test on Thursday. They should bring home their book every night to study.
* Our class will start doing News Teams. Each student will select an article from a newspaper, or online/magazine article to summarize and share with the class. The summary is not due until next Monday, September 19th. The brief speeches will be next week, as well.
* In HM Math we are continuing to learn equivalent fractions, reducing/simplifying, and converting mixed numbers to improper fractions and visa versa.
* Finally, in writing Room 12 is beginning our "Frustrations Essay" Be prepared to laugh at their funny supporting details, which is our focus.
* Next Monday, September 19th, our class will go on the field trip to the Tech Museum for the Chemistry Lab and IMAX Movie: Tornado Alley
There is a LOT more happening in Room 12, but that should suffice for now!
