Happy Friday! We had a GREAT week! Enjoy your weekend and get rested up for another great week!
The Week Ahead:
Religion: We will finish chapter four.

Please help your child stay on top of their math grade by checking Power School. Remember, the kids can correct any math assignment for full credit.
Reading: We have read to chapter 9 in our classroom novel, Where the Red Fern Grows. We will continue to read a chapter each day next week. The kids will be completing their Reading Log activities that help practice and strengthen comprehension skills.
**Book reports are due on Monday, October 31st! I really let the students have freedom when designing the lay-out of book reports. I am just asking to have it resemble a newspaper/magazine article. They can draw or print a picture.
We will be completing another Scholastic News Magazine.
English: We will be working on writing scary and mysterious stories. The kids will pick a mysterious picture and create a story for that picture.
Social Studies: We will begin chapter three over the early explorers.
Science:
We will continue to study weather next week. We will finally make barometers! The kids will also be reading Seymour Simon non-fiction weather books in literature circles and completing activities.
