Monday and the week

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We are settled back into our routine after the strangely scheduled conference week.

We are continuing to work on our ocean animal reports in class. The kids should be working on their models at home. They may bring them in at any time this week (once they are completed), but must for sure be turned in by next Monday.

We began a new literature study today. The kids are very excited about Roald Dahl's The Witches. Seems timely for Halloween.

We also began a new science unit today. We'll be studying "Waves, Wind, Water and Ice" and how it relates to the formation / destruction of land masses.

This Friday brings the Native Californians exam. The kids know that they need to turn in their study guides with their exam on Friday, but should be using the guide to prepare themselves during the week.

No blue folders this week, as we had little turned in last week.

There is not a spelling list this week.

Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:

- reading log
- math 7.4 (pp 63 & 64)
- some students may need to complete pages 144 & 145 in their science practice books.
