WEEK of October 28th-November 1st

UPDATE
Room 12! This will be a fun week indeed.
Reading- Our 5th graders are continuing to read Sign of the Beaver and our reading comprehension strategy focus this week is Compare/Contrast. In 6th Grade we will continue reading Tuck Everlasting. Our spelling/vocabulary will come from these books this week.

Writing-We will continue our Spooky Stories using Google Docs at home. They are due on Halloween Day. There will be an Author's Chair and we will read some of these in the dark ;-)

Math-5th grade is continuing to learn how to subtract and borrow with mixed numbers.
6th grade is also working with mixed numbers and improper fractions

Art-We are doing a fun and CHALLENGING Halloween scene along with a Jack-o-lantern Dodecahedron.

BELIZE BOOK DRIVE-We will be donating new and gently used books to Belize schools. Today Dwight Martin, a former 2nd grade teacher, gave a presentation about his time staying there last year when he established two school libraries for poor schools. Many students checked out a book for the first time thanks to our donations! These books will be collected for the coming weeks until Friday, November 22nd, when Dwight collects them and boxes the books to send.

Our party will be on Thursday at 10:30 a.m. See you then!
