Explorers Project

Today we introduced our first research project. This is going to be an incredible learning journey. The project will be due after winter break. The research will be done in class, and the typing (it will be a five paragraph essay) will be done at home. Get excited!! The students will be researchers extraordinaire by January!

It's Beginning to Feel a lot like Chanukkah!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Here is a rundown for the big week ahead.

Book Fair: Our class went today and made "Wish Lists".  We will have the opportunity to go back to the bookfair to buy books on Thursday afternoon.

Quarterly Birthday & Chanukkah PART-AY!: On Friday, you are all invited to our festivities!  We have blocked off the last two periods of the day (1:38- 3:20) for the fun!  Don't forget to send in a shoe box lid before Friday for our craft (We are making drip trays for our menorahs).

Tests, Quizzes, and Stuff that is DUE:  There will be a noun quiz on Friday and a math quiz on Tuesday, December 7.  Book reports are due on December 9th.

Social Studies: The kids did GREAT on their social studies tests last week!  We are moving forward on Wednesday with Lesson 3 in the Social Studies book.
