Reading: This week we will read "Tops and Bottoms."
There will be a test on Thursday
November 5th. This week you should find
a paper called "Family Times" in your
child's home folder. This should help
you as you and your child work together on
this week's story. You will find the
vocabulary words,information about the
Language skill, and a place to take a
practice spelling test. You will receive a
paper like this for every story.
Please have your child read the story at
least twice a week,even if you spread it
over four days. This will help your child
with word recognition,comprehension,and
fluency. Even if you alternate reading pages
with him/her it will be a BIG help towards
improving reading skills.

STUDENT'S HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO READ A
FICTION BOOK FOR A REPORT. THE REPORT
WILL BE DUE ON NOVEMBER 19th. THE REPORT
WILL BE A BOOK COVER (ILLUSTRATION) WITH
JUST A FEW FACTS. I WILL SEND THE INFORMATION
HOME WITH STUDENTS NEXT MONDAY. ALL I WANT
THEM TO DO THIS WEEK IS READ THE BOOK.

We will also see how addition and subtraction
are related. Another skill I hope to cover this
week is finding the rule.
Science: This week we are studying about "Where Plants
and Animals Live" chapter 3. We will be
discussing different types of ecosystems.
Ecosystems with few trees: grasslands,deserts,
and the tundra. Also we will discuss forest
ecosystems: coniferous,deciduous,and tropical.

on community environments. We will talk
about different climates and natural
resources. A study guide should come
home on Wednesday. The chapter 5 test
will be on Tuesday November 10th.
We have a snack everyday around 9:00 and students
are allowed to bring a water bottle to school if they
want. This helps to cut down students wanting to leave
the room to get a drink.
